Kohli: India and Bangladesh (IND vs BAN) will be played on 22 June in the T20 World Cup 2024. However, so far in this T20 World Cup, the bat of legendary batsman Virat Kohli has been completely silent. While Suryakumar Yadav has played 2 excellent innings so far.

Kohli and Surya's statistics in the T20 format have been excellent. Due to which both these players are considered the best players of T20.

He praised Klaasen and called him, "The best middle order white ball batsman in the world." Smith praised Klaasen a lot. Smith did not name Kohli and Surya. Let us tell you that Kohli and Surya do not have good statistics from Heinrich Klaasen. But even after this, Smith took the name of Klaasen.

Smith praised him a lot

Let us tell you that, Graeme Smith, while praising wicketkeeper batsman Heinrich Klaasen in a column, wrote that,

"I think Heinrich Klaasen is the best middle-order white-ball batsman in the world and he has done it consistently for the last two years. Players batting at number four, five and six in T20 cricket who can hit the ball out of the park and change the game - that's where the money is. If I was buying players for franchises, Klaasen would be the type of player I would want."

T20 World Cup has been bad

The performance of the South Africa team in the T20 World Cup 2024 has been very good so far. Due to which the team has won both its first matches in the Super 8. If South Africa wins against West Indies in its last match, then the team will make it to the semi-finals. However, Heinrich Klaasen's performance in the T20 World Cup has not been anything special. So far Klaasen has been able to score only 119 runs in 6 innings.
