Nepal’s aggressive approach at the crease not only rewrote the record books but also showcased their fearless intent to conquer new heights in the shortest format of the game.

Kushal Malla’s Blitz: The Fastest T20I Century

At the heart of Nepal’s record-breaking spree was the amazing performance of Kushal Malla, a 19-year-old left-handed batter who rewrote the history books with his blazing century. Batting at No. 3, Malla redefined the concept of a fast century, taking just 34 balls to reach the milestone, surpassing the previous joint record held by David Miller and Rohit Sharma.

Dipendra Singh Airee’s Lightning-Fast Fifty

Not to be outdone, Dipendra Singh Airee, Nepal’s No. 5 batter, etched his name in history by achieving a nine-ball fifty. This remarkable feat bettered Yuvraj Singh’s 16-year-old record for the fastest T20I fifty, who had taken 12 balls to reach the milestone in a World T20 match against England in 2007.

Nepal’s power-hitting has not only rewritten the T20I record books but has also set a new benchmark for aspiring cricketers worldwide.
