In the Asian Games T20I tournament, Nepal’s Dipendra Singh Airee broke the record of former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh. He defeated Mongolia by scoring 314\/3 in 20 runs but also broke Afghanistan’s previous score. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nepal’s batters broke three different world records in a record-breaking performance. While other batters were able to score runs with ease, Dipendra Singh stood out the most. He got six straight fifties en route to the fastest T20I fifty in international cricket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dipendra Singh Airee gave a first-class performance by scoring the fastest-ever T201 fifty in just 9 balls. The record was previously held by India\u2019s very own cricket legend Yuvraj Singh, with 12 balls against England during the 2007 T20 World Cup.\u00a0Nepal went on to score more than 300 runs in the match, making history as the first team to reach 314\/3 in 20 overs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Left-handed batsman Kushal Malla, 19, set a record for the quickest T20I century by reaching the triple-digit mark in just 34 balls. In the process, he broke the joint record held by Rohit Sharma and David Miller. Before that, the Indian and South African players had combined for 50 runs in 35 balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Nepal faced Mongolia, who chose to field, Malla batted at No. 3, smashing 12 sixes and eight fours to remain unbeaten on 137 and lead Nepal to the highest-ever T20I score of 314 for 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All-rounder Dipendra Singh Airee, who came at no.5,\u00a0rewrote the record books by smashing a nine-ball fifty that broke Yuvraj Singh’s 16-year-old mark. Yuvraj had also hit Stuart Broad for six straight sixes during the inning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The social media exploded with praise for Dipendra’s bravery. The batter had to put in a tremendous amount of effort to accomplish what he did at the Asian Games, even though it was against the underdog Mongolia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main highlight of the game was that Nepal is now the first team in the history of T201 to score a total of over 300 runs. The team gave its opponents a tough match by scoring 314 for 3 in just 20 overs. It now surpasses the previous record held by Afghanistan who scored 278\/3 against Ireland in 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
