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]

Domestic and T20 career

In August 2017, Klaasen was named in Nelson Mandela Bay Stars' squad for the first season of the T20 Global League.[4] However, in October 2017, Cricket South Africa initially postponed the tournament until November 2018, with it being cancelled soon after.[5]

On 2 April 2018, Klaasen joined the Indian Premier League side Rajasthan Royals replacing Steve Smith.[6]

In June 2018, Klaasen was named in the squad for the Titans team for the 2018–19 season.[7] In October 2018, he was named in Durban Heat's squad for the first edition of the Mzansi Super League T20 tournament.[8][9]

In December 2018, Klaasen was bought by the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the player auction for the 2019 Indian Premier League.[10][11] In June 2019, he was selected to play for the Toronto Nationals franchise team in the 2019 Global T20 Canada tournament.[12] In July 2019, he was selected to play for the Glasgow Giants in the inaugural edition of the Euro T20 Slam cricket tournament.[13][14] However, the following month the tournament was cancelled.[15]

In September 2019, Klaasen was named in the squad for the Tshwane Spartans team for the 2019 Mzansi Super League tournament.[16] He was released by the Royal Challengers Bangalore ahead of the 2020 IPL auction.[17]

Shukri Conrad, a coach at Cricket South Africa's National Academy, stated that Klaasen could become South Africa's equivalent of MS Dhoni.[18] In September 2015, he said, "Heinrich stays very calm in the situation. He stays in the moment. There’s very much a ‘poor man’s MS Dhoni’ about him. There are really no sideshows to his game and really takes the game to the opposition. He doesn't wait for the game to come to him and that is what I like most about him. He is as tough as they come."[18]

In April 2021, Klaasen was named in Northerns' squad, ahead of the 2021–22 cricket season in South Africa.[19]

He was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad to play in the 2023 Indian Premier League.[20]

In February 2023, Klaasen scored the second century in the SA20 tournament, making 104 not out from 44 balls for Durban's Super Giants against Pretoria Capitals. In May 2023, he also made his maiden IPL century against former team Bangalore, scoring 104 runs of 51 balls.[21]
