Klaasen in IPL 2024:
Heinrich Klaasen has played an instrumental role in helping Sunrisers Hyderabad post mammoth totals in match after match this season. In fact, the 32-year-old batsman is SRH’s second-highest run-scorer this season with 337 runs in 10 matches so far at a strike rate of 189.33 and an average of 48.14.
Recently, SRH pacer T Natrajan was asked what it was like to bowl to Klaasen in the nets. To which the pacer replied, “He is hitting the ball long and far. Too long and too far! It is a learning process for me too. I can understand his strengths and use that information when I come up against him as an opponent,”
