As soon as de Kock was out, the African team could not score runs at a fast pace. The left-handed batsman played an innings of 65 runs in this match with the help of 4 fours and 4 sixes in 38 balls. The result of his innings was that the team scored 63 runs in the first 6 overs. The African team lost its first wicket in the 10th over and the team management sent star player Heinrich Klaasen to bat at the third position but his move did not work and he was out early. After this, during a discussion on Star Sports, former Indian veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh was seen criticizing him.

He said, “Quinton de Kock gave a great start and in view of this, Heinrich Klaasen was sent to bat at number three. However, there are some players who do not know how they should bat when they have 10 overs left. Something similar happened with Klaasen and he could not understand how to bat. I think he can bat well in the last 5 overs.”

Let us tell you that Klaasen is known for playing big shots in the last overs but when he came to bat at the third position in this match, he could not bat in his style. The right-handed batsman faced 13 balls in this match and got out after scoring just 8 runs. During this, he could hit only one four. However, he is not usually known to bat with such a strike rate and Harbhajan also criticized him for this and questioned his game.
