Trent Boult’s Goodbye to T20 Cricket:
In the cricket world, a talent like Trent Boult is very rare. The Kiwi bowler ruled the cricket world over the year with his excellence. But this edition of the T20 World Cup 2024 has become a little more emotional for the bowler. Boult bid goodbye to his glorified T20 career from the World Cup stage. Boult had shared that this T20 World Cup would be his final one, a decision that caught many in cricket by surprise. With New Zealand not advancing to the Super 8 stage, Boult’s last game in the tournament came against Papua New Guinea.
Trent Boult’s T20 career has been exciting. He played 61 matches and secured 83 scalps. He enjoyed a distinguished T20 World Cup career, claiming 34 wickets to rank among the top ten highest wicket-takers in the tournament’s history. His retirement marked the end of an era. In his final T20 match, he took 2 wickets while conceding 14 runs, showcasing his skill one last time on the global stage.
Reflecting on the bond With Williamson and Southee:
In Kiwi cricket, Kane Williamson, Tim Southee, and Trent Boult have been pillars of strength. Over the years, from conquering the World Cup stage to having a heartbreak in the 2019 World Cup, the trio came a long way. After Boult’s final call on his T20 career, he shared a special memory.
On social media, Boult shared some pictures with Williamson and Southee, and wrote, “Time flys!! Who would’ve been thought the game we played as young kids would take us this far. Great to look back on some memories.” That post made everyone emotional.
