Klaasen smacked 479 runs from 15 innings at IPL 2024, at a strike rate of 171.07, Sunrisers’ second-highest scorer behind Head and Abhishek. Abhished had scored 484 in 16 innings with a strike rate of 204.21 – the highest strike rate among the top-ten run-scorers last season. Cummins, of course, had captained Sunrisers to the final, where they fell short against Kolkata Knight Riders.
