Watch: SRH skipper Aiden Markram pulls off stunning catch to dismiss KKR counterpart Nitish Rana

Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Aiden Markram highlighted his exceptional fielding skills on Thursday by plucking a superb catch off his own bowling during the Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). IPL 2023:  Full coverage  |  Points table  |  Schedule  |  Results  |  Orange Cap  |  Purple Cap​ The incident took place during the 12th over of the Kolkata innings at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, in which the South African broke the solid fourth-wicket partnership by removing his Knight Riders counterpart Nitish Rana for 42. Rana, who helped Kolkata recover from a shaky start with a 61-run stand with Rinku Singh, got a thick top-edge while attempting a slog-sweep, with the ball headed towards the vacant mid on region. Markram, bowling his third over, ended up running in the opposite direction and completing what surely is among the top catches of the season so far. Watch the catch here:
