Canada opener Yuvraj Samra became the first player from an Associate nation to score a men’s T20 World Cup century, bringing up his hundred off just 58 balls against New Zealand at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Tuesday. He reached the landmark with a boundary.
He is also the second centurion of this edition, after Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka, who hit a hundred against Australia in Pallekele.
Earlier, Samra raced to his half-century off just 36 balls. At 19 years and 141 days, he became the youngest player to score a hundred in men’s T20 World Cup history.
