Don bradman century in 3 overs: The average of around 100 in cricket, Don Bradman, who scored 6,996 runs in just 80 innings, has no record of records, which have not been revealed in the cricket world yet. If we say that once Bradman had scored a century in just 3 overs, will you be able to believe? This is about 94 years ago, ie 1931, when Don Bradman completed the century in three overs and just 18 minutes while playing for the Blackheeth team.

A century in 3 overs, how?

This is a matter of time when 8 balls were thrown in an over. This means a maximum of 48 runs in an over. The match that is being talked about here was played in New South Wales. Don Bradman had hit 38 runs in the first over, but what happened after that was incredible.

In the next over, a bowler named Bill Black came to bowling. Even before the over started, the wicketkeeper of the opposing team, Leo Waters teased Bradman and said that Bill Black had dismissed him a few weeks ago. The Australian veteran did not like this and hit 33 runs in Bill Black over. In this over, he hit only 3 sixes and three fours. Bradman took a single run on the last ball of the previous over, due to which he had a strike on the first ball of the next over.

The next over was done by Hori Baker, in which Don Bradman hit a total of 40 sixes and four fours. In this match, Don Bradman had completed his century in just 3 overs. It took them only 18 minutes to do this. In this match, Bradman scored 256 runs and during this period 29 fours and 14 sixes.
