Heinrich Klaasen burst onto the scene while playing for South Africa against India last year. He impressed everyone with his attacking instincts and ability to play spin. As a result of his performances, he was picked up by Rajasthan Royals as a replacement for Steve Smith. He hardly received any opportunities and played just a couple of games.

He has been in rather poor form over the last 2-3 months and hence, it did surprise a few when he was picked up by Royal Challengers Bangalore. Due to his poor form, the likes of Marcus Stoinis, Moeen Ali and Shimron Hetmyer will be ahead of him in order.

The only way he can get into the playing XI is when first-choice keeper, Parthiv Patel injures him or goes woefully out of form. Moreover, he still stands a chance to get into the South African squad for the World Cup as a reserve wicket keeper so, he could leave mid-way.
