LONDON: English batsman Ben Duckett broke Sir Don Bradman’s record of scoring the fastest 150 runs at Lords on June 2 against Ireland.
Even though Duckett (182) fell 18 runs short of scoring a double hundred at the end of the day, still his knock was enough to surpass Bradman’s long-standing record.
While shattering the 93-year-old record, the left-handed batter also registered another milestone in his name as he became the first batsman since 1924 to score 100 runs before lunch in a Lord’s Test.
It was a special day for the 28-year-old as he brought up a second Test ton, and first at home.
After the end of Day-2, Duckett said as quoted by Sky Sports, “A hundred at Lord’s is special. I know everyone says it, but it hasn’t really sunk in yet.”
