In the T20 match between India and South Africa (IND vs SA) on Wednesday, Rassie Van der Dussen played a blistering 75-run innings. He snatched victory from India by scoring 46 runs in the last 15 balls of his innings. Following this strong batting from Rasi, former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer made a very funny tweet linking him to Hollywood legend actor Clint Eastwood.
Sharing the photo of Rasi and Clint Eastwood, Wasim Jaffer wrote: “Clint Eastwood will explore time travel in his next movie and win the World Cup for South Africa as Rasi Van Der Dusen.” Looking at the photo shared in this tweet from Jaffer, Rasi looks a lot like Clint Eastwood.

One of the main reasons for the defeat of the Indian team in the T20 match played on Thursday night was the loss of Rasi’s catch. South Africa needed 63 runs from 29 balls to win. Then on the 16th, Shreyas Iyer dropped Rasi van der Dussen’s catch on Avesh Khan’s second ball. Until that moment Rasi was playing 29 races of 30 balls. Subsequently he scored 46 runs on 16 balls.
South Africa have taken a 1-0 lead in the 5-match T20I series against India. Batting first, India scored 211 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. In response, due to strong tackles from Miller (63) and Rasi van der Dussen (75), South Africa won the match handily, losing only 3 wickets. Now the second game of the series will be played on June 12 at Cuttack.
