Shewag Creates Record!


Shewag has created history in Indian and world cricket! He was hitting all over the ground and it was a tough day for South Africans. The ball was flying in all directions. This is his 3rd consecutive 150 or more runs.


This is his 2nd three hundred plus score in test cricket. His has equalled his previous record of 309 against Pakistan. If we scores one more run, that will be his highest score. He is continuing his good form against South Africa.


He never gave a chance to the South African to earn his wicket. He was reverse sweeping, pulling, driving, hooking, hitting in the air, and what not.


He never bothered about his hundred or double hundred and trible hundred. He hit a six off Nitni over square leg to go to 199 Then he glanced to mid-wicket for a 3 to go past beyond 200.


He has created many records during the day and still batting at 309. Can he go past 400 and create one more world record? Wait and see day 4!!


He scored his 300 in 278 balls, which is a record.
