Reeza Hendricks is a stylish and elegant top-order batter whose cover drive is a thing of beauty. A prolific run-scorer at the domestic level for the Lions, Hendricks has often found himself in and out of the national side, playing the role of a dependable backup. However, every time he is given an opportunity, he has a knack for producing a substantial score, reminding everyone of his undeniable class and talent.

He made his international debut across all formats between 2014 and 2018, and he holds the unique record of scoring a century on his ODI debut. Despite these flashes of brilliance, consistency and a crowded batting lineup have sometimes kept him from holding a permanent spot. Hendricks is a versatile player, capable of opening the innings or batting in the crucial number three position, providing stability and flair to the top order.

In recent years, Hendricks has become a more regular feature in South Africa’s T20I side, where his ability to find gaps and rotate strike, combined with a growing power game, makes him a valuable asset. He remains one of the most technically correct batters in the country, and his experience and calm demeanor under pressure continue to make him a strong option for The Proteas whenever a vacancy arises.
