Now for a batsman who is usually calm, simple, methodical and purely focuses on his bat doing the talking was a bit different to the unflustered person we are an accustomed of seeing.
So was it a tense class? Was it a close shave in the middle and were emotions risingā you bet! They were. A particularly heated exchange of sorts, well almost an exchange, took place at the very end of Henriksen innings with the dominant right hand, having made sizeable runs that ultimately helped his teamās cause.
The Protea right hander found himself stumped by Chennaiās Sanju Samson, but the manner of walking away from the pitch wasnāt sportsman-like or so it seems!
The visuals clearly captured Heinrich Klaasen, saying a thing or 2 to Sanju Samson, perhaps in the fit of momentary lapse of reason, which led to the rise of anger as he walked off this consulate, having not taken the team over the ropes himself.
At least that is what assumptions are
At was also concerning, is the fact that Sanju Samson of all Cricketers found a heated word or two being said to him when heās a true gentleman of the game and deserves all the respect in regard.
After all, who would have thought class of all matters saying an angry word to Sanju Samson. But while he must be called out, we should also do well to remember that these things happen. Intense close games with so much is on the line and yesterdayās game had a heavy impact specifically for Chennaiās fortunes.
