A video has gone viral on social media where Sunrisers Hyderabad overseas player Heinrich Klaasen can be seen allegedly warning a fan for recording him and his family without their permission. In the video that has been shared on social media, Klaasen was seen threatening and asking to stop recording as well.
Although the face of the player was not visible in the video, the internet was quick to understand that it was the veteran batter from South Africa. He also said that the person recording on his phone would be on the floor if he did not stop recording as well.
“Don’t do it, sorry. Listen to me very carefully, don’t do it, okay,” he said.
“I said to you no. Please leave,” Klaasen was heard saying in the video as well.
However, the fan continued to film and said that SRH played well, the cricketer replied – “Thank you very much, but don’t take a photo. If I turn around and you take a photo of me and my family, I promise you will be on the floor, okay.”
One guy was recording Klaasen despite him saying no then he went to him and said
“Don’t do it, If I turn around and see you clicking me and my family, I promise you’ll be on the floor next moment”

On the other hand, former South Africa fast bowler Dale Steyn applauded Sunrisers Hyderabad’s middle-order batter Heinrich Klaasen for his stunning knock against the Mumbai Indians and added that the batter is “still right up there as an Orange Cap contender” despite batting in the middle order. Notably, Klaasen smashed an unbeaten 65 off 30.
“The numbers are just insane because he’s competing with the guys at the top of the order, the opening batters. If you look at the opening batters from Sunrisers Hyderabad in particular, they get off to incredible starts and do the bulk of the run-scoring. He comes out later and yet; he’s still right up there as an Orange Cap contender. It’s an exceptional effort by him,” Steyn told JioStar.
“Every time he comes out, he looks in total control. He looks steady, hits the ball down the ground nicely, and gets himself in. When he wants to pull the trigger, he’s able to hit the ball anywhere. That six where he went reverse off the spinner, how? He just pulls it out in the middle of a game. Incredible hand-eye coordination, skill, and then obviously, the mental side to back his ability to do it under pressure,” he concluded.
