Former South Africa captain AB de Villiers has named a player who could be a game-changer in the ongoing 2023 ODI World Cup. The 360-degree batsman named his compatriot Heinrich Claassen as a player who can dominate the bowling attack at any time.
South African wicketkeeper and batsman Heinrich Klaasen has been on a roll lately and is now scoring runs just for fun. He began his purple patch in early 2023 and gave impressive performances for the team in white-ball format matches. He proved to be the cleanest striker in the death overs, but became a nightmare for top-class bowlers.
AB de Villiers, speaking to ICC, believes that if Heinrich Klaasen can bat for 45 minutes in a game, he can take the game away from the opposition.
He also believes that he is the most influential player in the world who can win his team’s matches single-handedly, and his spin-playing abilities have been praised by the former South African captain, leading to victory. We invited them to join the Proteas team to contribute to the. ODI World Cup 2023.
“If Heinrich Klaasen comes on and bats for 45 minutes, the game is over.” I can’t thank anyone who beat him enough. He is explosive in midfield and is arguably the most influential player at the moment. He’s very, very explosive.
“He definitely knows his game as the best spin player in the world at the moment based on his overall form in life and I hope he can maintain that until the final.” That’s for South Africa That would be a good thing. ” fromde Villiers.
Given his recent form, he could be the best spin bowler outside the subcontinent. In fact, he may be better than players who have faced spin on spinning trucks throughout his career.
Klaasen’s problem is that he immediately gives off the impression of being an experienced hitter. He rarely needs much time to get into a rhythm and quickly adapt to the needs of the match.
Proteas midfielder Heinrich Claassen has recently scored 316 runs at an average of 45.14, with an astonishingly high strike rate and won many matches for his team. The 32-year-old wants to continue his good form until the crucial end of the tournament.
