New Delhi. Age is just a number in the world of sports. This has been shown by an England player who has set a unique record at the age of 45. The name of this player is Darren Stevens, who played such a stormy innings against Glamorgan in county cricket, in which all records were destroyed. Darren Stevens single-handedly took the team’s score to over 300. The surprising thing is that in the partnership of more than 150 runs, the second batsman scored just one run. At the same time, he created history in the case of sixes.
Actually, county cricket is being played in England at the moment. In one match, Darren Stevens smashed 190 runs in 149 balls against Glamorgan, playing for Kent, which included 15 fours and 15 sixes. With this, he made a history in first-class cricket. He has now become the batsman to hit the most sixes in an innings of a first class cricket match at the age of more than 40 years. He has hit a total of 15 sixes in an innings at the age of 45 years and 21 days. Earlier this record was in the name of John McPeas.
The most surprising thing was that Darren Stevens single-handedly pushed forward the innings after batting at number seven after the top order flopped. They did not get much support from the other end, but if the eighth wicket fell to a total score of 128, then the opposition team Glamorgan would have felt that Kent’s team would now be reduced to cheap, but Darren Stevens was not among the losers. He made such an amazing partnership for the ninth wicket, which everyone was surprised to see.
In fact, Darren Stevens, along with Miguel Cummins, shared a 166-run partnership for the ninth wicket. The funny thing is that Cummins scored just 1 run in this partnership, the rest of the runs came off Stevens’s bat. On this basis, Kent’s team scored 307 runs in 76.2 overs in the first innings. Australian batsman Marnus Labuschen, a part-time spinner, dismissed Stevens.
