Heinrich Klaasen's strike against the spinner didn't just leave fans on the stands in awe, but the effect was similar in the commentary box as well.

As Sunrisers Hyderabad are up against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2025, Klaasen has made a strong start in his knock.

The innings was set up by a blistering opening partnership, with Abhishek Sharma smashing 34 off just 17 deliveries, including three fours and three sixes. Travis Head, his partner, also contributed with a quick cameo before both were dismissed in quick succession.

Klaasen, known for his composure and counter-attacking style in the middle overs, took charge of stabilizing the innings alongside Ishan Kishan, who was on 10 off 7 balls. The South African hit a few exquisite shots and hit a massive six off Suyash Sharma, which awed the commentators and the fans at the ground.

Former India player and commentator Sunil Gavaskar hailed the South African for his magnificent strike and was extremely excited to see the hit.

"How easy was that, or how easy did he make it look? Look at the flow of the bat, look at the swing of the bat. It's the wrong one, and he has hit it with the turn. Wow, beautiful," Gavaskar exclaimed in absolute shock and admiration.

Also, the fans were in awe at the stands. As Klaasen cleared the fence with ease, the RCB supporters at the Ekana Stadium were seen awestruck by the hit.

RCB, already qualified for the playoffs, entered this match looking to secure a top-two finish. With Rajat Patidar nursing a finger injury, the team handed the leadership role to Jitesh Sharma for this crucial fixture. Patidar was named in the playing XI but only as an Impact Player, contributing solely with the bat.
