IPL 2026: Heinrich Klassen scripts history, becomes first cricketer to...

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are currently playing against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their IPL 2026 clash, which is being played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. The Pat Cummins led-side was bowled out for 165 in 19 overs.

Big feat for Heinrich Klassen

However, star SRH batter Heinrich Klaasen managed to reach an unique milestone in T20 cricket. The South African batter was dismissed on 11 runs off Cameron Green's ball in the 11th over. During his short stay at the crease, Klassen became the first batter in the world to score 1000 runs in T20s against Sunil Narine without ever being dismissed by the mystery spinner.
