The Hundred That Announced the Arrival of Kapil Dev
One of those who didn't play T20 cricket, although could have been a success story, is none other than our Kapil Dev. It would be better if we say T20 cricket missed watching him. There is another reason also to remember Kapil Dev at present.
One of the saving graces for England in the recent Ashes series was the hundred Jacob Bethell scored at SCG. The best stat related to his hundred is that he became the 47th player to make a maiden first class hundred in a Test match. In September last year, he made a maiden professional century in an ODI against South Africa.
