Heinrich Klaasen

About

Heinrich Klaasen, one of the most aggressive white-ball batters from South Africa, is known for his ability to smash bowlers all around the park. The wicketkeeper-batter has consistently shown his power-hitting skills, with his remarkable 174 off 83 balls against Australia in 2023 standing as one of the highest scores by a No. 5 or lower batter in ODIs. Klaasen had brief stints with RR and RCB before joining SRH in 2023, where he scored 400+ runs in both seasons, maintaining a strike rate of over 170 and even registering a century. SRH retained him for TATA IPL 2025 owing to his match-winning abilities in the middle order.
