NEW DELHI: Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Aiden Markram led from the front as he grabbed two spectacular catches to get rid of well-set Ishan Kishan followed by dangerous Suryakumar Yadav during an IPL match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Tuesday.

Incidentally, SRH paceman Marco Jansen was at his destructive best as he gave two denting blows to Mumbai Indians (MI) to dismiss Ishan and Suryakumar in one single over.
The incident happened in the 12th over of the MI innings. Markram first caught Ishan, who made a 31-ball 38 with help of three fours and two sixes, on the first ball of the over.
Ishan came down the track to a shortish delivery but ended up slicing it in the air over extra cover due to the extra bounce.
The SRH skipper, who never took his eyes off the ball, ran back from mid-off while moving to his right and then outstretched his hands to complete the catch which looked quite easy at the end.
If the first one was terrific then what followed on the penultimate delivery of the over was a stunner. Suryakumar checked his drive on a Jansen cutter and ended up chipping it to the left of mid-off.
An alert Markram leapt in the air to his left and took an acrobatic catch. Suryakumar's stay was cut short to 7 off three balls and that included a six from the previous delivery.
