Heinrich Klaasen was pleased with his innings and talked about his plan against the DC spinners, explaining that he wants to be multi-dimensional. Speaking at the post-match presentation, he said:

“About time I did something in IPL, pleased about it. Was a good team effort, glad the batters played with freedom, good signs to come. We got the players to do it up front, hopefully we can take this result and form in the next game. I have to fit in (playing well against spinners), you have to adapt, can’t be one-dimensional. The wicket was starting to hold a bit more, and it also spun a bit.”

DC vs SRH: “Abhishek Sharma has been bowling well in the nets,” says Heinrich Klaasen

Abhishek Sharma was also a shining light for SRH in their win over DC. He first batted staggeringly well, scoring 67 runs with the bat, and also chipped in with the crucial wickets of Manish Pandey.

Heinrich Klaasen said that he asked Sharma to try spinning the ball as much as he can as he looked in good rhythm in the nets. He added.

“Back of a length kept balls skidding on, so we asked our bowlers to drag back the length and make it difficult for their batters. He (Abhishek Sharma) has been bowling well in the nets, asked him to try and spin the ball as much he can.”

Heinrich Klaasen will be next seen in action when SRH will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their next game on Thursday (4th May).
