Taking over Mongolia
Nepal’s all rounder Dipendra Singh Airee scripted history on 27th September by smashing the fastest half century in T20I Cricket. The 23-year old cricketer took just nine balls to break Youvraj Singh’s 16-year old record which the latter made during the 2007 World Cup against England. Dipendra continued his unbeaten knock of 52 off 10 balls, hitting a total of eight sixes. With Dipendra Singh, Kusal Malla also rewrote history by becoming the fastest player to score a ton off 34 balls in T20I Cricket.
