Heinrich Klaasen batted for nearly a couple of hours - battling hot and humid conditions - and eventually went on to score his fourth century in ODI cricket.
But then, it wasn’t easy. As much as he dominated the England bowlers in South Africa’s marquee World Cup fixture at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday, Klaasen looked quite knackered at the end, with the temperature soaring up to 35 degrees.
“It’s like just breathing in hot air and every time you try to run, it’s just sapping more and more energy and then at the end of the day, your body just doesn’t want to work with you anymore,” Klaasen said.
