IPL 2025: Funniest Memes from SRH vs MI Mid-Innings of Match 41

Heinrich Klaasen’s outstanding performance in the current Indian Premier League 2025 may have made the first innings between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Mumbai Indians (MI) extremely different.

On Wednesday, April 23, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, Hardik Pandya chose to bowl first after winning the toss. Within five overs, the top four hitters in the SRH lineup were out of the game thanks to the devastating impact of Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar, the new-ball tandem for the Mumbai Indians. But Ishan Kishan was unfortunate because, after being reluctantly given out by the umpire, he failed to request a DRS.

Aniket Verma attempted to combine with Klaasen, but MI captain Pandya ended his innings in the ninth over with just 35 runs scored. Taking the pitch as the Impact Player was Abhinav Manohar. The kid was content to play second fiddle, but Klaasen took the lead by attacking the MI bowlers.

In his incredible 71 off 44 deliveries, Klaasen struck two sixes and nine fours. Jasprit Bumrah got rid of him on the penultimate over. Manohar and Klaasen’s combination produced 99 runs off 63 balls. In the final over, Boult, who had already taken two wickets in his opening spell, claimed two more. With a tough 43 off 37 balls, he helped SRH reach 143/8.

SRH is a few runs short, Manohar acknowledged during the mid-innings break. He said that the wicket wasn’t as flat as it looked on live TV, though.

“This wicket is a little low at 143. The new ball is not as flat as it appears on television; it is moving somewhat. becomes simpler as the game progresses. Both the spinners and the quick bowlers were struggling to gain traction later on. I’ve been anticipating a chance (as an impact sub) for the last three games, so I was prepared. In order to play catch-up, Klaasen urged me to continue the game until the fifteenth over. It was incredible to watch him bat from the other end,” he remarked on television following the opening inning.
