India fast bowler Umesh Yadav created history with the bat on Sunday as he set the new world recoඣrd in Test cricket.

On Day 2 of the ongoing third Test between India and South Africa in Ranchi, Umesh scored 31 runs off justꦺ 10 deliveries.

In fact, Umesh also joined a rare list by smashing sixes off t𒅌he first two balls he faced.

In the 142-year history of Test cricket, there are only two recorded instances of players hitting the first two balls of a Test innings for sixes prior to Umesh. Foffie Williams off the bowling of Jim Laker in 1948 and India’s Sachin Tendulkar against Nathan Lyon in 2013 achieved this feat.

Umesh’s innings included five sixes but no fours. This makes it the first-ever Test innings to witness five or more sixes without a four.

Even Twitter users were pretty happy with the six-hitting spree of Umesh and praised him on the social media platformꦅ.
