Afghanistan player smashes 45 runs in one over, scores 153* in just 43 balls.

Delhi: Cricket is called the game of uncertainties, but when a player alone destroys the entire bowling line, he becomes a history. One such historical scene was seen in the ongoing ECS T10 tournament in England, when Afghanistan batsman Usman Ghani shocked world cricket by hitting 45 runs in an over.

ECS T10 England: London County vs. Guildford

London County Cricket Club and Guildford were face to face in this match played on 1 August. Usman Ghani, who came to open from London, showed aggressive attitude from the beginning. He scored 45 runs in an over of Guildford bowler Will Erney, which is the most extraordinary performance in professional cricket history so far, that is, 45 runs have never been scored in one over of any kind of cricket so far.

This was the account of the historic over:

6 (no ball), 6 (free hit), wide ball, 4, 6, 4 (no ball), 6 (free hit), 0, 6, 4

With this, a total of 45 runs were scored in this over, out of which 42 runs came out of Ghani’s bat and the remaining 3 runs were extra.

153 run innings

Usman Ghani’s batting storm was not limited to just one over. He continued batting in the entire match in a fierce style and hit 153 not out in just 43 balls. In this innings, he hit 11 fours and 17 sixes. His strike rate was 355.81, which is also surprising in fast-paced format like T10. Ismail Bahrami, who came out to open with him, also played a rage of 61 runs in 19 balls. The partnership of the two brought London County to a huge score of 226/0 in 10 overs.

Guildford’s defeat and conflict

In front of the big target, the team of Guildford shattered under pressure. His batsmen did not appear in rhythm in the entire match and the team could score only 155 runs. No batsman could reach a half -century, and his condition was bad in bowling too. The result was that the team had to face a crush of 71 runs.

Brake from international cricket by alleging corruption

29 -year -old Usman Ghani, who has played 17 ODIs and 35 T20 international matches for Afghanistan, surprised the cricket world at one time. The right -handed batsman, who made her debut in 2014, made serious allegations of corruption on the Afghanistan Cricket Board.

Ghani said that the selection process in the board is not transparent and many talented players are being ignored due to factionalism. In 2023, he publicly tweeted and announced that he would return to international cricket only when the cricket board would have an honest management and fair selection committee.
