Cricket’s affinity with India has been ever strong and the bonding has been illuminating with fancy records. And now this has achieved great heights with an Indian batsman scoring the highest ever triple century in a T20 match.
In a local match of Friends Premier League sported here in Lalita Park of Delhi, 21-year-old Mohit Ahlawat fired a splendid triple century in just 72 balls, playing from Maavi XI against a team of Friends XI.
The Delhi batsman took overwhelming 39 sixes and 14 fours to make the huge number and still not out.
The scorecard depicts that the opponent made an appreciable 200 but it appeared inconspicuous against the 416-2 of the Maavi XI.
This transgression of Ahlawat has paved way for his advancement towards the IPLs. He has also played three first-class matches for the Capital city. On such a huge fruitful endeavor, Ahlawat spoke up his experience and cheer, “I saw the scoreboard, and I was nearing my 200 with five overs to go, so I decided to go for the kill I reached 250 with just two overs to go, I told my partner, ‘let me try if I can make 300’, and I got 30 off the last over.”
He further remarked on his success, “Yes, I have put my name in IPL auction but I am not sure if this knock will help make people notice me, The attack was good but after seeing off the new ball, I decided to just bat aggressively and was really timing the ball well.”
Rewinds tell us about early records which made it near to the grandeur but still were way behind this new score. In the year 2007, Dhanuka Pathirana of Sri Lanka had a score of 277 from an identical number of balls. At the official level, Chris Gayle had hit 175 from 66 balls in 2013 IPL between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Pune warriors.
