New Delhi. Team India has reached the final of T20 World Cup 2024. Where they will face South Africa. The African team is in form and has not lost a single match. South Africa defeated Afghanistan in the semi-finals. Even though South Africa has not won the T20 World Cup title even once till date, Team India should not take them lightly this year. South Africa’s fearsome player Heinrich Klaasen has the power to turn the match single-handedly.
We are talking about South Africa’s powerful player Heinrich Klaasen who has the power to turn the match around single-handedly. Klaasen wreaked havoc in IPL this year. He scored a total of 479 runs in 15 innings. This World Cup has not been very special for Klaasen. He has now scored 138 runs in 7 innings. Klaasen’s highest score in this World Cup has been 46. However, he is not a big match player. Rohit Sharma should not take him lightly.
What should be Rohit’s technique?
If Heinrich Klaasen stays on the field, he can snatch the match from India. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma will try to get him out quickly. For this, he will have to use the best bowler of his team. That is, if the pitch is good for spin, then Kuldeep Yadav should come first. On the other hand, if the pitch is good for fast bowlers, then Jaspreet Bumrah should definitely come first. For information, let us tell you that Klaasen thrashes spin bowlers fiercely. His strike rate against spin is 181. On the other hand, his strike rate against pace is 157.
Talking about Heinrich Klaasen’s career so far, he has played 4 Tests, 54 ODIs and 51 T20 matches for South Africa so far. During this, he has scored 104, 1723 and 860 runs respectively. In the second T20 match of the T20 series between India and South Africa in the year 2022, Klaasen played an innings of 81 runs in 46 matches. During this, he also hit 5 sixes and 7 sixes.
