Delhi Capitals (DC) captain Axar Patel pulled off a jaw-dropping flying catch to remove Sunrisers Hyderabad pacer Harshal Patel in the ongoing IPL 2025 match at the Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Vishakhapatnam on Sunday, March 30. Mitchell Starc struck again to bring yet another stunning moment for the fans in the 19th over of Sunrisers Hyderabad in the ongoing IPL 2025 clash in Vishakhapatnam.
The Delhi Capitals pacer’s delivery had some serious heat, and Harshal tried to go for a big shot, but he mistimed it and it soared high to the left of mid-off.
With his eyes locked on the ball, Axar Patel leaped into the air like a superhero to his left, and the crowd erupted in elation as the DC skipper’s sensational grab sealed Harshal’s fate. The Indian all-rounder pulled off an acrobatic effort, flying through the air to pluck the ball out of the air.

Axar’s two-handed ripper sent Patel back after scoring just 5 off 9 balls. The Capitals’ fielding has been nothing short of spectacular against the SRH in the ongoing IPL 2025 match in Vishakhapatnam.

The batting collapse continued, and SRH struggled to post a competitive total. Despite their reputation for aggressive batting, they were bundled out for just 163 in 18.4 overs, well below their initial target of 180.

Before the match, SRH skipper Pat Cummins emphasized the importance of setting a big total in the afternoon heat. “We batted the opposition out of the game last year; hope to do that today,” he said, confirming one change—Zeeshan replacing Simarjeet. Meanwhile, DC’s Axar Patel stressed an aggressive approach. “You have to be brave against SRH, especially in the powerplay. Bowl like it’s the death overs,” he said, announcing Rahul’s inclusion in place of Rizvi.
