Hyderabad pacer Jaydev Unadkat has lauded South Africa wicketkeeper-batter Heinrich Klaasen. Speaking ahead of the Hyderabad vs Gujarat match on 31 March, Unadkat said that Klaasen is watching the ball like a football at the moment. Klaasen has started his Indian Premier League in style, hitting back to back fifties in the first two matches. Klaasen’s 80* vs MI, helped SRH to reach a record total of 277 runs in the tournament.
Unadkat spoke about Hyderabad’s win against Mumbai and said that the team had a lot of fire in them. The pacer has been a journeyman in the Indian Premier League, but found his touch with SRH in the MI game, bowling two sensational overs in the death, helping SRH win their first game of the tournament.
“It has been a great T20 journey so far. I’ve travelled a lot. Featured for many franchises. The more, the wiser! I’ve had a chance to have conversations with best in the business,” Unadkat said ahead of the game.

“As a bowler, even if one has several tricks up their sleeve, they are bound to go for runs (at some stage). It’s about upskilling that’ll help in the long run,” Unadkat spoke about his bowling.
Unadkat called Klaasen one of the best in the world and said that he was lucky to be in the same team as the South African star.
“Great to be on his (Heinrich Klaasen) side. Probably one of the best in the world. He’s watching the ball like a football,” concluded Unadkat.
