SRH batter Heinrich Klaasen has credited the franchise following their massive 110-run win over KKR on Sunday. He thanked the franchise for putting their faith and efforts into the league and the players.
Klaasen was awarded player of the match for his stunning 105 off 39, including seven fours and nine sixes. Klaasen registered the second fastest hundred of the ongoing IPL in 37 balls.
Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Kolkata Knight Riders in their final IPL 2025 game, scoring 278/3 at Arun Jaitley. Klaasen slammed 105 off just 39 deliveries, reaching his century in only 37 balls – the joint third fastest in IPL history. After an amazing win, he praised SRH for supporting their aggressive play on the field.
“I want to thank my family and the franchise,” Klaasen said following SRH’s 110-run win. “They spend a lot of time and effort and a lot of money into this brand of cricket, and we owe it to them to step up to the plate and dish out good performances.”
“The franchise puts a lot of money into this. They’ve been around for 13, 14 years. And for us, we had a bad start to middle end of the competition, and it just didn’t look well on the field. For us to turn it around and we’ve played brilliant cricket over the last three and a half games. And to just give back to them as well.”
Despite losing six of their first eight matches, SRH finished the season strongly with four wins in their last five completed games. They could now finish in the sixth position this season.
“It’s been a long season of disappointment, and sometimes against your processes. Luckily, I stuck to it and finally I’ve got a little bit of reward tonight.”
