Such Is Life, Says Reeza Hendricks On Proteas Champions Trophy Omission

To put it mildly, Reeza Hendricks international career has been nothing short of a roller-coaster ride.

From his very first ODI, where he struck a marvellous century against Sri Lanka, to being left out of the 2019 World Cup squad for an ageing Hashim Amla...

And how can we forget the 2021 T20 World Cup in Australia, where Hendricks was in the form of his life, but had to sit out the entire tournament and watch how captain Temba Bavuma limped from one game to the next?

But for Hendricks sins, everyone will only remember the last T20 World Cup in the US and Caribbean, where he struggled throughout the entire campaign as coach Rob Walter persisted with him at the top of the order despite SA20 Season 2 leading run-scorer Ryan Rickelton champing at the bit in the dug-out.

To Hendricks credit, hes always found a way back, like when he recently struck a glorious maiden T20I century against Pakistan at Centurion.
