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.
