Video: Heinrich Klaasen's Lightening Quick Stumping Would Even Make MS Dhoni Proud

Sunrisers Hyderabad etched out a narrow 2-run victory against Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 campaign on Tuesday. While SRH's traditional stars like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen didn't do much with the bat, it was the youngster Nitish Kumar Reddy who shone with the bat. In SRH's 2-run win, however, there also remains a big contribution from Klaasen who produced a stunning stumping effort to sent PBKS skipper Shikhar Dhawan packing.

Klaasen's lightening-quick stumping didn't even give Dhawan the time to think about making a comeback to the crease, with the bails being dislodged well before the southpaw realised what happened.Here's the video:

Fans on social media started to draw MS Dhoni comparison after witnessing the South African star's stunning act.

Speaking at the post-match presentation, SRH skiper Cummins held special praise for Nitish who emerged as the match-winner for the franchise. He said: "He was awesome, fantastic debut last week. Straight to the top for the order, fantastic in the field, bowled three overs too. To get us to 180 off his bat, it was amazing."

Cummins said it was a great game of cricket and despite PBKS bowling well in the start, SRH did well to reach 182 and defend it. He also pointed out that
