New Delhi: After his unbeaten 39-ball 105 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Sunday evening got Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) a mammoth 110-run win to sign off from IPL 2025 on a high, Heinrich Klaasen said he was just very pleased to conclude the season on a winning note after overcoming struggles throughout the tournament.
At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Klaasen made his promotion to number three count by striking the joint-third-fastest century in IPL off just 37 balls, as SRH finished with 278/3 on board - the third-highest total in the history of the tournament. His unbeaten knock was laced with nine sixes and seven fours coming at a strike rate of 269.23.
“It’s been a long season. I haven’t got a lot of starts, but I was hitting the ball nicely and got off to a good start again. I missed out the previous game on a very good wicket, so I’m just happy that I got the kick on here.”
“I don’t think I’ve hit it as nicely as I could. I didn’t pick some of the balls, which is a little bit disappointing. That could have made it even better. It was a little bit of a mental battle against myself. All in all, I’m just very pleased,” said Klaasen in a video posted on iplt20.com. IANS
