Nepal’s star batsman, Deependra Singh, did something incredibly rare in the world of cricket. He scored a Half-Century in just 9 balls during a T-20 International match against Mongolia. This astonishing feat broke the previous record held by India’s Yuvraj Singh, who had scored a half-century in 12 balls. But that’s not all – in the same match, Deependra’s teammate Kushal Malla achieved a century in just 34 balls. Together, they helped their team rack up a massive total of 314 runs in 20 overs, setting three world records in the process.
In the beginning, Mongolia won the toss and chose to field. They managed to take down Kushal Bhurtal, who scored 19 runs in 23 balls, and Asif Shaikh, who contributed 16 runs in 17 balls. But then came the incredible display of batting prowess. Kushal Malla remained unbeaten, scoring a remarkable 137 runs off 50 balls, including 8 fours and 12 sixes. On the other end, Rohit Poudel played a significant role, adding 61 runs off 27 balls, with 2 fours and 6 sixes.
The final piece of this stunning performance was Deependra Singh, who completed his half-century in just 8 balls, dealing only in sixes. To break down his record-setting innings, he scored 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 2, 6, and 6 in consecutive balls. This surpassed Yuvraj Singh’s legendary achievement of a 12-ball half-century against England in a World Cup match, which was long considered unbreakable. It’s worth noting that in that same historic match, Yuvraj had hit Stuart Broad for six consecutive sixes in one over.
