Sunrisers Hyderabad batter Heinrich Klaasen was at his brutal best in the Indian Premier League 2023 game vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) as he smashed a fiery maiden IPL hundred. Coming in to bat at number 4 after SRH were two wickets down for just 28 runs inside the powerplay, Klaasen did not waste time and started to attack the ball. Klaasen was exceptional especially against the spinners, using his feet well to continue his power-hitting. He did not play any fancy shots, and stuck to proper cricketing strokes on his way to the hundred.

Klaasen celebrated the ton in an animated way with Harry Brook, who was at the other end. The whole SRH franchise was on its feet afte Klaasen brought up the personal three-figure mark with a six straight down the ground. Harshal Patel took the revenge of the six by cleaning him later in the over. Klaasen made 104 off just 51 balls in impress everyone. The innings included 8 fours and 6 sixes respectively.

Earlier, cameras on the ground had spotted Kaviya with a sad expression on her face as SRH were 2 down for just 28 runs in the powerplay. Klaasen, however, started attacking from the word go and the mood in the SRH camp soon changed.
