2. Heinrich Klaasen
Heinrich Klaasen has been a prominent figure in the T20 circuit. He has dismantled bowling attacks with his swashbuckling stroke play and has been a game-changer with the bat. The 31-year-old has featured in 131 T20 matches and scored 2489 runs at a phenomenal strike rate of 136.45.
The wicketkeeper-batter has also been phenomenal for South Africa in the shortest format and smashed 687 runs in 38 T20Is at a strike rate of 146.79. Klaseen has the ability to take the attack to the opposition right from the get-go and many franchises could try to sign him at the IPL 2023 auction.
One of the franchises that could invest in Klaasen is Lucknow Super Giants. LSG signed Evin Lewis for the 15th edition of the cash-rich league but the investment could not bear fruit as the West Indies batter could score mere 73 runs in six games. Due to Lewis' poor showing, the think tank released him from the squad.
Therefore, the Lucknow franchise could look at Klaasen to provide more firepower to the batting line-up. The Proteas batter has shown his batting might in T20 competitions around the world and thus, LSG might even go all guns blazing to pick him at the player auction.
