PARIS, France (AFP) — Lhuan-dre Pretorius hit 188 not out off 79 deliveries in Bloemfontein to break Chris Gayle’s record score in the T20 format.
Playing for the Titans against the Knights in the South African CSA Challenge, the 20-year-old left hander opened the batting and hit 13 sixes and 14 fours in his innings to surpass Gayle’s 175 for Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League in 2013.
Pretorius reached 50 in 24 balls, needed 16 more to get to his century and took another 18 to hit 150.
