1st Time In 147 Years: Sri Lanka Star Sets World Record. Not Even Sunil Gavaskar Or Don Bradman Achieved It
The success story of Kamindu Mendis since he made his Test debut continues. The Sri Lanka star remained unbeaten on 51 on the first day of the second Test against New Zealand in Galle on Thursday and in doing so he set a new world record. The 25-year-old star is now the first batter in the 147 year history of Test cricket to score a fifty-plus score in each of his first eight Tests since debut. Before him, Pakistan's Shaud Shakeel held the record as he had fifty-plus score is each of the first seven Tests that he played. Earlier, India's Sunil Gavaskar (6) jointly held the record with three others.
