IPL 2024 [WATCH]: Heinrich Klaasen’s daughter cheers for her father; Kavya Maran joins in with a unique celebration

Heinrich Klaasen‘s performance at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) during an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match against Mumbai Indians (MI) on Wednesday was truly unforgettable. In a game marked by record-breaking runs, Klaasen’s stunning innings of 80* off just 34 balls provided SRH with an exceptional finish. His remarkable display propelled SRH to a record total of 277 for three in their allotted 20 overs. However, the spotlight wasn’t solely on Heinrich; it was shared with his 14-month-old daughter, Laya, who became the center of attention.

Klaasen’s last over destruction

Even the SRH owner, Kavya Maran, couldn’t contain her excitement while witnessing her team’s remarkable batting display, especially by Klaasen.

During the 20th over of the SRH batting, MI bowler Shams Mulani delivered a full toss on the pads to Klaasen. Although Klaasen failed to make clean contact, it momentarily seemed like the deep midwicket fielder had an opportunity. Nevertheless, positioned slightly inside the boundary line, the fielder couldn’t reach the ball. In the next delivery, Klaasen struck the ball powerfully, clearing the long off boundary despite not hitting it cleanly.
