Kolkata Knight Riders wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock took an amazing catch in the IPL 2025 match against Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday in Guwahati.

De Kock's amazing grab sent Riyan Parag back in the hut as the RR captain fell to Varun Chakravarthy after a brilliant start to his innings.

Parag was batting superbly and had just hit the KKR spinner a six, but another attempted hit went straight up and it only had the height, not the distance.

De Kock made no mistake and took a magnificent catch under the night sky. Although it went very high, the South African maintained his shape and balance under the mitts. But before taking the catch, a strategy which De Kock took has started making rounds.

De Kock, immediately after seeing the ball going up very high, removed his helmet and called it his catch. The South African, removing the helmet, it helped him get the proper eyesight on the ball.

RR vs KKR: Watch the Quinton de Kock catch

Because a helmet's grill can often block the view and removing it made the catch a tad bit easy for the KKR player. The presence of mind at the time of need is something that is done by elite players and the cricketing brain that De Kock showed on the pitch and respect from the fans.

The fans pointed out the smart work Quinton showed before his grab. And sending Riyan Parag at that time was important for KKR as the Rajasthan captain was looking extremely dangerous.
