Punjab Lad Simi Singh Plays World Record Innings For Ireland

By IANS News July 18, 2021 • 19:24 PM View: 3320

Simi Singh, a former Punjab age-group cricketer, who failed to make the senior state side and then shifted to Ireland where he has got to play for the national side, went down in record books as the first player to score a century while batting at No. 8 in One-Day International cricket.

The 34-year-old Singh hit 100 not out off 91 deliveries (14x4s) in Ireland's 70-run loss to South Africa in the third and final ODI. Before Singh's century, Sam Curran's 95 not out against India in Pune on March 28 this year and Chris Woakes's 95 not out against Sri Lanka in Nottingham in 2016 were the highest in the No. 8 position in ODI cricket.
