New Zealand veteran Ross Taylor now holds a unique record of appearing in huౠndred international games in each format of the game. He is the only player to achieve this prestigious re🌊cord.
On the eve of his 100th Test match appearance against India at Basin Reserve in W🍸ellington, th♉e New Zealand Cricket Board felicitated the 35-year old with 100 bottles of wine, with each bottle representing each Test he played.
When asked about his plans with the monumental collection of bottles, Taylor had a hilarious response on offer. The Veteran Kiwi batsman asked for some help in order to drink theไ entire hundred bottles of the drink.
Als🐈o, the Black Cap talisman had a few good words for the ceremony on the eve of his 100th Test cap. La♛ter, Taylor was accompanied by his kids during the start of the match against India.
“Had a great presentation last night. Good friend and mentor Ian Smith said a few words. Some probably a bit inflated but it was nice for the team and the family to enjoy something they won’t experience again. I will need some help in drinking it,” Taylor told a reporter when asked about the event and the gift presented to him.
