Nepal’s young cricket sensation, Kushal Malla, carved his name in history during the Asian Games 2023 held in China. The 19-year-old prodigy achieved what was thought impossible by breaking the records of Rohit Sharma and David Miller, securing the title of the fastest century scorer in the T20 cricket format.
Previously, the record for the fastest century in T20 cricket was jointly held by Rohit Sharma and David Miller, both achieving the feat in 35 balls. However, Kushal Malla surpassed their record by reaching a century in just 34 balls during the match against Mongolia. His astounding performance included an impressive score of 137 runs in just 50 balls, featuring 8 fours and an astonishing 12 sixes.
