WATCH: Dipendra Singh Airee struck 9-ball half-century in Asian Games 2023, shatters Yuvraj Singh’s magnificent record

The Nepali star cricketer, Dipendra Singh Airee, recorded his half-century in just nine balls.

The Nepal team posted a mammoth total of 314 runs in the given 20 overs against Mongolia in the opening game of the Asian Games 2023.

Notably, the 23-year-old batter smashed six straight sixes to record his world’s fastest half century against Mongolia on September 27 in Hangzhou, China. His unbeaten 52-run knock helped his side set a historic total in the Asian Games in 2023. In addition, the great middle-order batter was also seen in the recently concluded Asia Cup 2023.
