In the history of cricket, records are often made and broken and in this sequence, now a foreign player has broken the record of former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh. Yuvraj had scored 36 runs in an over and set a world record. Now a young batsman has made this record in his name.

The young player from England has created history by scoring 43 runs in a single over. This is the first time in the 134 years of cricket history that 43 runs have been scored in a single over.

Lewis Kimber sets a world record

Actually, currently the County Championship is being played in England and during a match in this tournament, the teams of Sussex and Leicestershire were face to face. During this match, Kimber, who came to bat at number eight for Leicestershire, has created history.

Let us tell you that during the fourth innings, Sussex fast bowler Ollie Robinson bowled the 59th over and during this time he would not have even imagined that 43 runs were going to be scored in one of his overs. Kimber hit 2 sixes and 6 fours in this over and with this 43 runs were scored. According to the rules of county cricket, 2 runs are given as a penalty for bowling a no ball and he bowled two no balls, due to which a total of 43 runs were scored.

This feat happened for the first time in 134 years of history

Let us tell you that this is the first time in the 134-year history of county cricket that 43 runs have been scored in a single over.

However, just a few days ago during the same tournament, 38 runs were scored in an over against spinner Shoaib Bashir. At that time, Bashir became the bowler who conceded the most runs in an over in the history of the tournament.

However, this embarrassing record did not last long in his name and now it is registered in the name of Ollie Robinson.

Kimber scored a double century

In this match, Sussex had given a big target of 464 runs to Leicestershire. While chasing this, the team was struggling and lost 6 wickets for 144 runs. After this, Lewis scored a double century but could not make his team win. He played an innings of 243 runs in 127 balls in this match. During this, 20 fours and 21 sixes came from his bat.
