Klaasen caused concern for the hosts as he capitalised on Varun Chakaravarthy‘s final over, scoring 21 runs on his way to a brisk 63 off just 29 balls. Klaasen, alongside Shahbaz Ahmed, intensified their assault on Mitchell Starc, pummeling him for 26 runs in the penultimate over.
Despite SRH needing 60 runs from the last three overs, they managed to narrow the equation down to 13 runs required off the final over. Klaasen had to depart on the penultimate ball of the innings following a super solo effort by the 20-year-old.

Sharma executed a superb catch while moving backward from the position of short third man to dismiss Klaasen. The delivery by Harshit Rana, a full-paced off-break, enticed Klaasen into attempting a hefty slog once more. However, Klaasen’s shot resulted in a leading edge that propelled the ball over the infield.
Despite this, the impact player, brought in the place of Ramandeep Singh, displaying impressive reflexes, promptly retreated, composed himself, and executed a flawless dive to secure the catch. It was Rana’s nerveless display in the crucial last over that ensured KKR’s thrilling victory, earning them two vital points in this pulsating encounter.
