It happened in the second innings of the match, when Sunrisers Hyderabad was chasing 218 runs, when Alex Hales was on strike. He stepped out and tried to smash the ball delivered by Moeen Ali out of the park. However, the ball and the shot was superbly timed but there was one man who made everyone’s jaw drop.

Have a look at some of the reactions from twitterati:
Spirited effort from the Sunrisers trying to chase 219. Williamson was absolutely superb. Still can’t get over that catch from De villiers to dismiss Hales. RCB are well and truly in it , and after looking down and out after the first half are now at No5 in points table #RCBvSRH
