Heinrich Klaasen was run out at the non-striker’s end during the first innings of Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) and Lucknow Super Giants’ (LSG) IPL 2025 match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, which was an odd and unfortunate occurrence. Prince Yadav’s quick decision resulted in an unintentional dismissal, forcing the South African hitter to walk back after taking early wickets and trying to extend SRH’s innings.
LSG chose to field first in an attempt to get a head start against the devastating top order of SRH. Their strategy was successful right away as Shardul Thakur delivered a vital twin punch in the third over, dismissing Ishan Kishan for a golden duck and Abhishek Sharma for six. Before Prince shattered his stumps and took his first IPL wicket, Travis Head played a counterattacking performance, hitting 47 off 28 balls.
Heinrich Klaasen hit two boundaries and one six before being caught beyond his crease and having to leave for 26 off 17 balls.
Fortunately, LSG took a wicket just as it appeared that SRH was regaining control. Nitish Reddy hit Prince with a hard drive in the twelfth over. The bowler tried a low catch but was unable to hold on, and the ball bounced off his hand and struck the non-striker’s end stumps. Prince celebrated the wicket before getting medical help, even though he injured his hand in the process.
