Heinrich Klaasen completed his 100 sixes in T20 cricket in the year 2024.
The South African team had to face a crushing 61-run defeat in the first match of the four-match T20 series against India at home. In this match, the Indian team, which batted first, scored 202 runs in 20 overs, in response to which the African team was limited to a score of 141 runs. However, despite this, the star player of the South African team, Heinrich Klaasen, achieved a great feat, with which he now becomes part of a group in which only West Indies players previously dominated.
Klaasen will complete his 100 sixes in T20 in 2024
Heinrich Klaasen played an innings of 25 runs in 22 balls in the first T20 match of the series against India in which he hit just one six. With this, Klaasen also completed his 100 sixes in T20 in the year 2024. Klaasen has now become the fourth player in world cricket and the first from South Africa to hit 100 or more sixes in a calendar year in T20 cricket. Before Klaasen, this feat was achieved by Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell and Chris Gayle. While Puran achieved this feat with the bat this year, Russell had hit more than 100 sixes in the year 2019. While Chris Gayle has done this feat 6 times. Talking about Klaasen, his bat has been seen speaking strongly in this format this year, where he hit a total of 38 sixes in the IPL 2024 season while playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad.
