Heinrich Klaasen has been outstanding in IPL 2024. The wicketkeeper-batsman, often regarded as one of the top T20 batters, has demonstrated his prowess in power-hitting this season, effortlessly dismantling bowlers.
He ranks as SRH’s second-leading run-scorer with 337 runs in 10 games, boasting a strike rate of 189.32, and has secured three half-centuries. Klaasen has earned admiration from Indian fans for his boundary-hitting skills, highlighted in a recent occurrence.
While at a shopping mall in Hyderabad with his teammates, the crowd became ecstatic upon spotting the cricketers. Klaasen, along with Jaydev Unadkat, found himself surrounded by chanting fans, a situation unfamiliar to him.
The South African appeared surprised and frustrated by the encounter, as captured in a viral video circulating on social media. The footage shows Klaasen appealing to the crowd to settle down.
Absolute madness! Poor Klaassen getting harassed by the crowd… But how did SRH management allow such a huge number of fans without any safety precautions? pic.twitter.com/B5pECptXDz

SRH currently holds the fourth spot on the IPL 2024 leaderboard
SRH currently hold the fourth position in the IPL 2024 standings with 12 points from 10 matches. Their next game is against the Mumbai Indians on Monday, and they’re determined to secure a victory.
SRH clinched a close one-run victory against the top-ranked Rajasthan Royals in their recent match, emphasizing their aspirations for the season. Following the game, SRH captain Pat Cummins remarked:
“I am good, was an amazing game. That’s T20 cricket. Anything can happen, Bhuvi executed that last ball. You try to take some wickets in the middle. Natarajan is a good yorker bowler, fortunately we got some wickets.”
“Played some games here, thought 200 could have been chased down. He (Nitish Reddy) sums up the conditions pretty well, he’s amazing, great in the field, gives some overs with the ball as well.”
