There are many batsmen in the Nepal cricket team who bat explosively. At the same time, there is also a player who bats explosively like Team India captain Rohit Sharma. The name of this player is Kushal Malla. This batsman scored a century in just 34 balls in T20I cricket. He made this record against Mongolia.
Malla thrashed the Mongolian bowlers in this match and completed his century in just 34 balls. Malla played a fiery innings of 137 runs in 50 balls in this match, which included 8 fours and 12 sixes. During this, his strike rate was 274.
Nepali cricketer also broke Yuvraj Singh’s record
Mongolia’s captain Luvsanjundui Erdenebulgan won the toss and decided to field first. But perhaps he did not know that Kushal Malla was going to thrash his bowlers on the field today. He was going to send every ball out of the boundary line. Otherwise, he would never have made this mistake. Nepal’s team came to bat first after losing the toss and the first wicket fell at a score of 42. After this, Mongolian bowlers were seen struggling against the storm of Kushal Malla who came at number three.
In the same match, Dipendra Singh Airy also broke the record of the fastest half-century in T20 by former Indian team’s legendary batsman Yuvraj Singh. He scored 52 runs in just 10 balls and made the record for the fastest half-century. He hit 8 sixes in this match. While his strike rate was 520.
We saw two records being broken in this match. The special thing is that the Nepal team scored a huge score of 314 runs in the stipulated 20 overs, in response to which Mongolia collapsed for 41 runs and Nepal won this match by a huge margin of 273 runs.
Rohit Sharma had hit a century in 35 balls
Before Malla, the record of scoring the fastest century in T20I was held by Team India captain Rohit Sharma and South Africa’s explosive left-handed batsman David Miller who scored centuries in 35 balls each. But no cricket fan expected that a Nepali batsman would be able to break their record.
Rohit Sharma scored the fastest century of his T20I career against Sri Lanka in 2017. At the same time, South African middle-order batsman David Miller achieved this feat by scoring a century in 35 balls against Bangladesh in 2017.
