Twitter has gone crazy as South African beast Heinrich Klaasen continued his onslaught in SA20. The unfortunate team to endure his recent onslaught was Joburg Super Kings and it wasn’t first time for them.
In three matches against Joburg Super Kings, Klaasen scored 64 off 41 balls, 40 off 16 balls and 74 off 30 balls. Such an outstanding hitting has made him a nightmare to bowl to in the shortest format of the game.
Even in the qualifier 2, Klaasen came to bat when Durban Super Giants were in a bit trouble at 52/3. His first 15 balls only yielded 13 balls and in the next 17 balls, came the brutal assault, as Klaasen accumulated 57 balls.
Wiaan Mulder scored 50 off 23 balls but such was the assault from other end that his innings looked a sort of relief for Joburg Super Kings. Mulder and Klassen shared a 100 runs partnership in just 37 balls. You can imagine the heat in the ground.
Let’s take a look at some of the best Internet reactions for the innings from Heinrich Klaasen:

Mufaddal Vohra: HEINRICH KLAASEN, YOU MADMAN…!!! 74 (30) with 3 fours and 7 sixes – in the Qualifiers, Klaasen stood tall and dismantled the JSK bowling unit. This guy is a proper beast, what a player.
