He said, “The way Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head started for their team, they could have scored 400 runs against Delhi. For Hyderabad, if wicketkeeper batsman Heinrich Klaasen had stood till the end, the team would have definitely crossed this figure. Klaasen is one of the most dangerous batsmen in this format and he strikes well against fast bowlers and spinners. The good thing for the DC team was that they got out early otherwise more runs would have been scored on the scoreboard.
In this match, Travis Head started aggressively and scored 89 runs in 32 balls. During this period, 11 fours and 6 sixes came from his bat. He completed his half-century in just 16 balls but missed out on scoring a century. Apart from him, Abhishek also hit well and played an inning of 46 runs in 12 balls with the help of 2 fours and 6 sixes. So Klaasen's bat did not work in this match and he was out after scoring 15 runs in 8 balls. Klaasen was clean bowled by Delhi's star spinner Akshar Patel.
