Heinrich Klaasen's Explosive Century: A Record-Breaking Performance in IPL 2025

Klaasen's Remarkable Innings

In a stunning display of power hitting, Heinrich Klaasen scored an impressive 105 not out off just 39 deliveries, featuring 7 fours and 9 sixes. This remarkable feat places him among the fastest century scorers in IPL history, sharing the third position with Yusuf Pathan, trailing only behind Chris Gayle and Vaibhav Suryavanshi.

Coming in at number three after a promotion in the previous match, Klaasen capitalized on a solid 92-run opening partnership achieved in just 6.5 overs. He quickly got to work, adding another 83 runs alongside Travis Head in a mere 35 balls.

Klaasen reached his fifty in just 17 balls, marking the second-fastest fifty for SRH in IPL history, as he relentlessly attacked the KKR bowlers. His aggressive batting style saw him dispatch spinners and fast bowlers alike, leaving them unable to respond to his onslaught.

He completed his century in the 19th over, reaching the milestone in just 37 balls, making him the third-fastest player to achieve this feat. SRH concluded their innings with a formidable total of 278/3, marking the third-highest score in IPL history. This century was the eighth individual hundred in IPL 2025, with SRH players accounting for three of them, including Klaasen, Abhishek Sharma, and Ishan Kishan. No other team has more than one century in this season.
