Dawid Malan Joins Elite Club, Becomes Second England Male Batter After Jos Buttler To Achieve This Unique Feat

England's first ODI in a three-match series against Netherlands saw a lot of records getting broken on Friday in Amstelveen. While the Three Lions bettered their own record to post the highest total by a team in the ODI format, the likes of Jos Buttler and Liam Livingstone too achieved different milestones during the match.

Malan scored 125 off 109 balls on Friday against Netherlands. His innings was laced with nine fours and three sixes as England posted a mammoth total of 498/4 in 50 overs.

Overall, Malan became the 19th men's player to score a century in all three formats. Chris Gayle, Brendon McCullum, Mahela Jayawardene, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Martin Guptill, Shane Watson, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, Ahmed Shahzad, Faf du Plessis, KL Rahul, Kevin O'Brien, Glenn Maxwell, Tamim Iqbal, David Warner, Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam are the other 17 players.
