Three possible replacements for AB de Villiers in T20 Cricket

#1 Henrich Klaasen

The calm demeanour

Henrich Klaasen announced his arrival to international cricket, when he scored a swashbuckling 43 in a rain-affected match of the ODI series against India, to lead his side to a lone victory in the six-match rubber.

Having risen through the ranks with an array of consistent performances in both First-Class cricket as-well-as the shortest format of the game where he averages 34.37 in 53 matches at a bludgeoning strike-rate of 144.73 and has also stroked seven fifties in the process. Klaasen earned an IPL contract this year, where he replaced the suspended Steven Smith in the Rajasthan Royals.

One of the most endearing qualities of Klaasen is his calm demeanour and his game-sense against spin bowling which might keep him in good stead in the Proteas middle-order.
