In a dramatic turn of events during the third and final T20 International (T20I) of the three-match series between Australia and West Indies, the Aussie leg-spinner Adam Zampa unfortun𒀰ately etched his name into the record books for all the wrong reasons. Zampa has now created an unwanted record💫 by conceding the most runs ever by an Australian player in a T20I match.
Andre Russell smacked Adam Zampa for 28 runs in an over
The game, which unfolded at the Perth Stadium on Tuesday (February 13), took a surprising turn as Zampa’s bowling figures spiralled out of control. Despite his best efforts, Zampa struggled to contain the West Indian batters, especially Andre Russell, allowing a significant num💫ber of runs to slip through.
In the 19th over of the West Indies innings, Russell smashed Zampa all around the park. He hit 4 sixes and 1 four during Zampa’s last over, taking the bowler’s tally of runs to 65.
THIS IS RUSSELL MANIA…!!!!!
