New Delhi: David Malan … that batsman of England who has the ability to turn the match at any time. Yes, Malan has once again made headlines in the corridors of cricket by playing a match-winning innings. In the first ODI match played between Bangladesh and England on Wednesday, Malan gave his team a resounding victory in difficult times. He created such a riot by hitting a century that the corridors of cricket echoed with applause. This was the fourth ODI century of Malan’s career. He scored an unbeaten 114 in this match playing 145 balls. Malan hit a total of 8 fours-4 sixes. With this century, he made a big record in his name.
David Malan became the second batsman in the world
Dawid Malan became the second fastest player in the world to score four ODI hundreds. He did this feat in just the 16th ODI. The record of scoring the fastest 4 ODI hundreds is in the name of Pakistan batsman Imam-ul-Haq, he did this feat in just 9 innings.
Fakhar Zaman’s record can be broken
Malan now has 758 runs in 16 ODIs. If Malan scores 242 runs in his next two ODIs, he will make another big record. Malan can become the fastest player to score 1000 runs as soon as he scores this run. Till now this record is recorded in the name of Pakistan’s batsman Fakhar Zaman. Zaman had scored 1000 runs in just 18 matches. However, looking at the way Malan’s bat is raging, it can be said that he can set a new record soon. Recently, Malan played a brilliant inning of 118 runs against South Africa. He is now hitting back-to-back hundreds in ODIs.
The second-fastest player to four ODI hundreds 💯
