On a day when Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head toyed with bowlers, Heinrich Klaasen, arguably the most dangerous T20 batter at present, did little damage before Axar Patel rattled his stumps at Arun Jaitley Stadium.

SRH were on a roll until Kuldeep Yadav took Abhishek Sharma’s wicket to stop the carnage. Soon after, the Orange Army promoted Heinrich Klaasen to No. 4 to keep the attack going.

The South African international began quite well, smacking 15 off 8 balls with two huge sixes. Then Axar Patel came and dismantled him with a flat delivery. It was going towards the stumps only, while Klaasen assumed there would be some turn after it pitched.

As a result, Klaasen was frustrated in anger after losing his wicket, while Axar gave him an aggressive send-off by pointing towards the sky.

At the time of writing this, SRH are still in a great position, racing to 207/4 after 15.4 overs, with Nitish Rana and Shahbaz Ahmed at the crease. The Pat Cummins-led side are targeting to cross the 250-run mark, and they should given the start they got from Abhishek and Head.
