Cricket Weird Record: Cricket is called “Gentleman’s game”, but many times on the field, such records are made, which also make laughter and surprise. There are some records that players make mistakes even if they do not want to. Today we are telling you about the 5 most strange and unique records of cricket history, which you have hardly heard before.
The youngest ‘Six’ in cricket
In cricket, a six means the ball goes directly to the boundary, but former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif changed this definition. In a match against Sri Lanka, he flick the ball a little, the ball hit the wicketkeeper’s helmet and the team got 5 runs (because the ball hit the helmet), he ran and added 1 run from above. That is, he scored a total of 6 runs to reach the ball crossed without boundary, which is a unique record in itself.
Cricket’s shortest Test match
The Test match means a long game which lasts for five days, but in 1932 there was such a Test match between Australia and South Africa which ended in just 5 hours 53 minutes. In this match, South Africa batted first and the entire team was reduced to just 36 runs. Australia then won the match by taking an edge and 72 runs. It became the smallest Test match ever.
The most unique record of ‘Duck’ in ODI
Sri Lankan explosive batsman Sanath Jayasuriya is known for his aggressive batting, but he also has a strange record. The most duck in ODI cricket (0 runs out). He has faced Duck 34 times in his career, out of which he has been Golden Duck (out of the first ball) 10 times. These are a unique and strange record in itself.
Get out 3 times in 24 hours
Pakistan batsman Omar Akmal has made a record that no player would like to repeat. He was dismissed three times in 24 hours in the last match of a T20 series against England. In the match, he was dismissed by scoring 4 runs off the first 9 balls and the match was tied. After that, Akmal again got a chance to bat again in the super over and he again got out. After this, Akmal was dismissed early in the match played the next day. Having been out so many times in a day is a very embarrassing record.
One over in 17 balls
One over 6 is believed to be throwing legal balls in cricket, but Mohammad Samee of Pakistan broke this rule completely. In a match against the West Indies in 2004, he threw 7 no balls and 4 wide balls in one over. That is, a total of 17 balls in one over!
