Heinrich Klaasen was at his destructive best as he took down Josh Hazlewood in fine fashion at Hyderabad. The former South Africa star struck as many as three sixes to knock the Australian off his line, with Hazlewood bowling a series of wides. Klaasen picked 27 runs off the over, the most Hazlewood ever conceded in his T20 career.
The right-hander immediately targeted Hazlewood and launched a stunning attack that completely disrupted the fast bowler's rhythm.The former South Africa star hammered three towering sixes and a boundary in the over. As Klaasen continued finding the ropes, Hazlewood lost his line and also sent down a series of wides.
The combination of aggressive strokeplay and extras pushed the over to 27 runs and swung the momentum heavily in SRH's favour. The over also brought an unwanted record for Hazlewood, becoming the most expensive over of his T20 career.
Known for his control and disciplined bowling across formats, Hazlewood rarely endures such punishment. However, Klaasen's aggressive approach left the experienced pacer with few answers.
