Arshdeep Singh's Fiery No. 11 Knock Equips Records
15 Nov
Summary
- Arshdeep Singh scored 14 runs off 4 balls at No. 11.
- He hit two sixes, equaling a record for a No. 11 batter.
- Singh joins Prasad and Bumrah in scoring six off first ball.
Arshdeep Singh made a memorable impact batting at number 11 in the fifth ODI, scoring 14 runs from only four deliveries. His brief but explosive innings featured two significant sixes, contributing to a new record for India's lower-order batsmen. Singh's aggressive approach saw him hit a six off the first ball he faced, placing him in the company of former Indian cricketers Venkatesh Prasad and Jasprit Bumrah, who had achieved the same distinction.
Furthermore, Singh's two sixes in the match drew him level with the record for the most sixes hit by an Indian No. 11 batter in a single ODI. This record was previously held jointly by Venkatesh Prasad and Mohammed Shami. The overall record for most sixes by a No. 11 batter in ODIs is four, held by Pakistan's Mohammad Amir and Naseem Shah, and New Zealand's Blair Tickner.
