Klaasen Always Had A Natural Feel For Playing Spin: Manjrekar Lauds Batter's Heroics Vs KKR
Kolkata Knight Riders: Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar lauded Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) batter Heinrich Klaasen's unbeaten century against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) that helped them to finish their mediocre IPL 2025 season with an emphatic 110-run win on Sunday.
Klaasen hammered his second century of the IPL in just 37 balls, joint third-fastest in tournament history. His unbeaten knock of 105 runs in 39 balls was decorated with nine sixes and seven fours that powered SRH to 278/3 in 20 overs. It was also the side's third-highest total in the cash-rich league.
Manjrekar commented on Klaasen’s performance and his strength against spin. “Klaasen always had a natural feel for playing spin. In South Africa, pitches don’t turn much, but this is someone who’s played a lot of first-class cricket. His average is around 40 to 50, which is very good in those conditions. So he’s a proper batter," he said on JioStar.
