Captain Rohit Paudel’s Record-Breaking Effort
Nepal captain Rohit Poudel has registered a big record today. He became the youngest captain in the history of the Twenty20 World Cup tournament. Rohit is 21 years and 276 days old and has broken the record of Zimbabwe’s Prosper Utseya (22 years and 170 days). Moreover, Rohit also broke Rashid Khan’s (22 years) record of playing 50+ ODI and Twenty20 international matches at a young age today. Rohit was seen playing well but did not get support from the front. Sompal Kami retreated to the gourd. Sompal is the only player for Nepal to play in two Twenty20 World Cups.
Team Pringle sent back Rohit who scored 35 runs off 37 balls with 5 fours while giving a big blow to Nepal. Karan KC (17) and Gulshan Jha (14) both took the team to a hundred. Nepal managed to score 106 all out in 20 overs. Pringle and Beek took 3 wickets each, while Paul van Meekeren and Bass de Leed took 2 wickets each.
