De Kock threw the helmet before taking the catch.
In this match, South African batsman Quinton de Kock did something that stunned the fans. De Kock, who was wicketkeeping for KKR, threw his helmet away before taking the catch of Rajasthan's acting captain Riyan. The incident happened on the fifth ball of the eighth over when Riyan tried to play a big shot on Varun Chakraborty's ball coming outside the off stump, but he was not successful in it and the ball hit the bottom edge of the bat, and went very high in the air. De Kock took off his helmet and threw it away without wasting the chance. After this, he caught the ball and forced Parag to return to the pavilion.
