South Africa star Matthew Breetzke has continued his sublime form with the bat and has now entered the recordbooks during the ongoing ENG vs SA 2nd ODI at Lord’s. The 26-year-old became the first cricketer in the history of the format to register five fifties in his first five appearances, with his latest one coming today (September 4).
In the process, the 26-year-old Proteas eclipsed former India opener Navjot Singh Sidhu’s record too.
Here’s the top 4 players.
Breetzke has had a spectacular start to his ODI career, with one century and four half-centuries. He had scored a 150 on debut against New Zealand in February this year. In the recent ODI series against Australia, he struck 57 and 88 in two games.
Although Matthew Breetzke hasn’t always been the first-choice option but has done well whenever given the chance. In fact today as well, Breetzke was slotted into the playing XI after Tony de Zorzi was ruled out of the series due to a left hamstring.
