(born on
September 4 ,
1971 in
Durban ,
South Africa ) is a
Cricket er, more specifically an
All-rounder . He is known for his aggressive batting and his intelligent fast-medium swing bowling. He is nicknamed "Zulu" because of his fluency in that language.
He made his
Test Match debut for
South Africa against
India in
Calcutta during the second Test in 1996/97. Klusener, at the time playing primarily as a bowler, took some fearful hammering at the hands of
Mohammad Azharuddin , who at one point hit him for five consecutive fours, in his first innings of his debut but returned career best figures of eight for 64 in the second.
Klusener will be remembered mainly for his contributions in
One-day International s, in which he became feared as a hard hitting batsman and was voted as Man of the Tournament during the 1999
Cricket World Cup . He was also voted as a
Wisden Cricketer Of The Year in 2000.
His international career has tapered off since then, due mainly to persistent ankle injuries and animosity between him and the current South African captain, Graeme Smith, after the sacking of Shaun Pollock as captain. He plays for Kwazulu-Natal
(Nashua Dolphins) in the domestic level in South Africa. He is currently playing in England for
Northamptonshire .
