His high strike rate and career ODI batting average of 41.0 places him among the ranks of South Africa's most accomplished one-day batsmen. He also has a particularly impressive first class record, with a batting average of 43.0 and a bowling average of 30.0.

Lance Klusener was born on September 4, 1971 in Durban. A childhood spent among Zulu children on a sugar-cane farm and three years in the army contributed to a straightforward approach to bowling: hit the batsman's head if you can't hit his stumps.

He spent a couple of years bowling just two lengths before a serious ankle injury in 1998 forced him to drop his way. He was a revelation in his debut Test, ending with match-winning figures of 8 for 64 against India in Calcutta. He showed glimpses of his big-hitting in the years leading to the 1999 World Cup. His baseball-style backlift and thunderous hitting symbolised the tournament and his heroics nearly took South Africa to the final. Klusener played for KwaZulu-Natal in the domestic level in South Africa between 1991 and 2004.

In the 1999 Cricket World Cup, South Africa had progressed to the semi-finals, and Klusener till then was quite successful during the tournament, taking 17 wickets and scoring 250 runs in 8 matches and building a reputation as a hard-hitting batsman in tight situations. He won four Man of the Match awards out of the nine matches South Africa played in the tournament. 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, as well as a public dispute with the then South African captain Graeme Smith.

In 2004, Klusener was signed by Northamptonshire County Cricket Club on a contract running until late 2008. At Wantage Road he impressed with his fired-up seam bowling and his hard-hitting in the low middle-order. Due to family bereavements back home, it was announced that his contract with the county will not be renewed at the end of the 2008 season. In 2007, he started playing in the Indian Cricket League Twenty20 tournament in India for the Kolkata Tigers team.

Lance Klusener had scored 1,906 runs in 49 matches with a highest score of 174 and 80 wickets with best of 8/64 in Test Matches. In ODI's he scored 3,576 runs in 171 matches at an average of 41.1 with a highest score of 103 and took 192 wickets with a best of 6/49.

He has a happy marriage. His wife Isabelle is very kind and understanding woman who always supports Lance in all his decisions and helps him to tackle problems and difficulties. As for Lance Klusener’s net worth, this information is not disclosed, but according to some media sources his net worth has grown significantly in 2017.
