Heinrich Klaasen, who retired from international cricket in June 2025, continues to excel in T20 cricket despite a year away from the game. In IPL 2026, he has scored 145 runs in three matches with a strike rate of 147.95, showcasing his precision and power. Klaasen’s secret weapon is an “eye gym” that sharpens his reflexes and decision-making, allowing him to stay ahead in the game. After a slow start in other leagues, Klaasen’s new training approach has paid off in the IPL, with standout performances for Sunrisers Hyderabad. He praised stand-in skipper Ishan Kishan for filling in for the injured Pat Cummins and showing strong leadership qualities. Klaasen’s focus on fine details and adjustments in his routine have helped him maintain high standards despite limited match time. With Cummins recovering from injury, SRH is hopeful for his return later in the season.
