The big-hitting superstar from South Africa, SunRisers Hyderabad's (SRH) Heinrich Klaasen who has been in terrific form throughout the season has finally brought up his maiden hundred in the Indian Premier League (IPL) after smashing Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) all over the park.

Batting 49 balls for his century, the right-hander took the aerial root on six occasions to bring the Hyderabad crowd to party. Along with it, he found the boundary eight times before being cleaned up by Harshal Patel when he was on the score of 104.

With a total of 430 runs in 10 innings at an average of 53.75 and a strike rate of almost 180, Klaasen has been the only bright spot in the SRH line-up.

Moreover, he came at a stage when SRH were two down for 28 inside 5 overs and needed some boost from their middle-order to push them to a respectable and more importantly, a par total which they achieved as they managed 186 by the end of 20 overs.

Klaasen came into the IPL on the back of some incredible performances in international cricket.

Talking about the league, SRH have already been eliminated from the tournament and they would be playing for pride in this game.
