Klaasen batting against RCB in Chinnaswamy on Monday (AP)
Heinrich Klaasen is walking the walk and talking the talk in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024). As Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are mounting a huge total for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to chase at Chinnaswamy on Monday, the hard-hitter smashed the longest maximum of the season.
Klaasen smashed Lockie Ferguson for a maximum over long-on and on the roof of the stadium. The replays showed that the sixer was 106-meter long, equalling Venkatesh Iyer and Nicholas' records that they made against the same opposition.
