Former England cricketer Mark Butcher recently said in an exclusive video shared on the official website of SA20 that at present there is no better batsman in T20 cricket than Durban Super Giants’ explosive batsman Heinrich Klaasen. Let us tell you, Heinrich Klaasen’s performance so far in this important tournament has been quite good. Talking about Mark Butcher, he is working as a commentator in SA20.

Not only this, the former English player was in India during the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 and there he saw Klaasen playing a stormy inning of 109 runs in 67 balls against England in Mumbai. Klaasen’s performance has been very good not only in ODI cricket but also in T20 cricket. He is currently the top run-scorer in SA20. He has scored 526 runs in 13 innings so far in this tournament.

Mark Butcher said, ‘I think Heinrich Klaasen will be the leading run-scorer in the second edition of SA20 also. He is in tremendous form at the moment and there is no better T20 batsman than him in the world.

Regarding the Indian Premier League, the former English player further said, ‘I think SA20 is with him. The Indian Premier League is very high and all the leagues want to reach there but it is not so. Another edition of SA20 is also being played but the quality of this tournament is really quite excellent.

Mark Butcher gave a big statement regarding Will Jacques’ century against Durban Super Giants

Mark Butcher further said, ‘Will Jacques, playing for the Pretoria team, batted brilliantly against the Durban franchise and scored 100 runs in 40 balls. He plays for my old club Surrey. He batted tremendously and played an important role in his team’s victory.

This tournament is really very good and has seen many great matches so far. I have full hope that many more great matches will be played in this tournament in the coming times and its fan following will increase very rapidly.

Border-Gavaskar Trophy will start from 22nd November Mitchell Starc (Image Credit- Twitter X) Before the much-awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series between Australia and India (AUS vs IND), Australian team fast bowler Mitchell Starc has made headlines. It is noteworthy that the first match of this series will be played at Perth Stadium from 22nd November. So, before this match, in a practice session of the Australian team, Starc was seen practicing with a special kind of ball. The ball with which Starc is practicing is red on one side and white on the other. According to cricket experts, this type of ball helps the bowler a lot in maintaining hand-eye balance. By practicing with this type of ball, Starc can gain control over the late movement swing in the match. The pitch curator of Perth Stadium recently said that some grass is expected to be left on the pitch, due to which the fast bowlers can prove to be effective in the match. See this photo of Mitchell Starc viral on the internet Mitchell Starc was seen using a ball that was half red and half white to assist batters in practicing for lateral movement. 📷: Rev Sportz pic.twitter.com/JaKOsHrSMq — SportsTiger (@The_SportsTiger) November 18, 2024 On the other hand, if the latest media reports are to be believed, then Indian batsmen may face a lot of trouble due to late movement bowling at the end of the first Test match to be held in Perth. Perhaps this is the reason why Starc is practicing with a special type of ball before this match to take advantage of this weakness of India. However, this move by Australia could serve as a double-edged sword, as the current Indian team has a lot of bowlers who can work their magic in swing conditions. So if we tell you about Starc’s performance in Test cricket in the year 2024, he has bowled in 10 innings, in which he has taken a total of 27 wickets at an average of 32.25 and strike rate of 49.60. Apart from this, his average in Test cricket against the Indian team is 35.84. However, now it will be worth watching whether Starc is able to reduce his average against Team India in the upcoming series or not?
