Heinrich Klaasen clashed with Sanju Samson after CSK wicket-keeper stumped SRH batter out
Heinrich Klaasen was leading Sunrisers Hyderabad's run chase against Chennai Super Kings after the franchise lost their openers early in their innings.
Klaasen played a patient knock but made sure the scoreboard kept ticking to keep his team alive in the run chase in Chennai. However, as he neared yet another half-century in IPL 2026, he was stumped out on the delivery of Noor Ahmad.
The credit goes to Sanju Samson, whose quick glove work behind the wicket led to Klaasen's dismissal. It was a much-needed wicket for CSK as Klaasen was slowly taking the game away from the hosts
After a DRS check, when the out was given, CSK players celebrated wildly as they all hugged Samson. Klaasen, while walking off the pitch, was then spotted saying something to Samson in an aggressive manner, which led to a verbal altercation between the duo.
