Heinrich Klaasen (born 30 July 1991) is a South African cricketer who plays for the South African national cricket team[1] in limited overs cricket. Previously in 2021, Klaasen captained South Africa for the first time in a T20I match.[2] he is considered one of the most destructive players in limited overs cricket in the modern era. Renowned for his adept power-hitting capabilities, he demonstrates proficiency as a wicketkeeper, coupled with exceptional prowess as a finisher within the contemporary cricketing landscape. His remarkable statistics against spin bowling have established him as a coveted asset for T20 franchises. He has reported to be retained by the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise for INR 23 Crores for the upcoming IPL 2025.[3]
