Heinrich Klaasen shifts focus from strike rate to match-winning partnerships in IPL 2026
Sunrisers Hyderabad batter Heinrich Klaasen said he has given up chasing an unrealistic strike rate and taking extra risks in IPL 2026, where his focus is instead now on playing as per situations and stitching partnerships to keep the side in a strong position.
Klaasen’s measured approach has been central to SRH’s surge to the top of the IPL 2026 table after their 33‑run win over Punjab Kings, where he made 69 off 43 deliveries. Klaasen himself is now at the top of the IPL 2026 run-scoring charts with 494 runs in 11 games at an average of 54.89 and strike-rate of 157.32.
