300 off 72 balls! Mohit Ahlawat becomes the first batsman to score a triple ton in T20s

At an age when all kinds of records are getting broken in cricket, Mohit Ahlawat, a wicket-keeper batsman from Delhi, did something extraordinary in the shortest format of the game. And this achievement is going to make Chris Gayle and Rohit Sharma, who are widely regarded as ruthless T20 batsmen, jealous.

Ahlawat smashed an unbelievable triple century in a T20 game to become the first man in the world to achieve this unique feat.

The 21-year-old wicket-keeper, playing for Maavi XI against Friends XI at Lalita Park in Delhi, remained not out on 300 off 72 balls, which included 39 sixes and 14 fours. He hit five consecutive sixes in the last over of the game and leapfrogged from a score of 270 to 300.

Before Ahlawat, Dhanuka Pathirana held the record of highest score in a T20 game as the former Lankan domestic player scored 277 runs off just 72 balls in Lancashire’s Saddleworth League.

Ahlawat made his first-class debut in the previous season of Ranji Trophy for Delhi against Rajasthan.
