NEW DELHI: Catching a glimpse of your favourite cricket star is a dream come true for many fans. However, in their eagerness to fulfill this wish, some supporters may overstep boundaries, leading to unpleasant situations.
Their actions can create discomfort not only for themselves but also for the cricket stars they admire. And Sunrisers Hyderabad's destructive batter Heinrich Klaasen encountered a similar incident in Hyderabad when he lost his cool after being mobbed by fans.
A viral video on social media shows Klaasen and Jaydev Unadkat surrounded by fans, possibly at a mall, facing a chaotic situation.
Klaasen appeared visibly irritated and urged the fans to calm down.
Concerns have been raised about SRH's management following this incident, as it raises questions about how fans were able to get so close to the players, posing potential safety risks.
During IPL 2024, Klaasen's popularity soared as he delivered outstanding performances for his team. The explosive batsman amassed 337 runs in 10 innings at an impressive average of 48 and a strike rate of 189.
Klaasen's six-hitting prowess was particularly notable, with him smashing 31 maximums in the tournament - the highest by any batter in IPL 2024.
