In a stunning display of power-hitting, Nepali cricket sensation Kushal Malla has taken the cricketing world by storm, becoming the fastest player to score a century in T20 International (T20I) cricket. Malla’s extraordinary feat occurred during Nepal’s match against Mongolia in the ongoing Asian Games.
The 20-year-old dynamo’s record-breaking innings saw him reach the coveted century mark in just 34 balls, eclipsing the previous record held by David Miller of South Africa and Rohit Sharma of India, who had taken 35 balls to achieve the milestone. Malla’s scintillating knock featured a barrage of boundaries and towering sixes, leaving the Mongolian bowlers utterly bewildered.
Nepal’s journey in the Asian Games got off to a blazing start with their batsmen showing no mercy to the Mongolian bowling attack. As of the 15th over, Nepal had posted a formidable total of 206/2. This impressive performance underscores Nepal’s ambitions to make a strong statement in the tournament.
