There has been a lot of talk about cricket having become a batsmen friendly game and how there is very little room for bowlers to make an error especially in T20 cricket however despite the game being heavily dominated by the batsmen not many would have thought they would live to see a day when a batsman would score a triple century in T20.
A 21 year old player named Mohit Ahlawat became the first player in all levels of T20 cricket to score a triple century in the format. His innings was recorded at a club tournament in New Delhi, India where the wicket keeper batsman hit 300 runs off just 72 balls which included mindboggling 39 sixes and 14 fours. He came close to doing a Yuvraj Singh when he hit 5 consecutive sixes in last over of the innings reaching the 300 run mark also remaining unbeaten in the process.
Mohit's extraordinary innings helped his side Maavi XI to finish at whopping 416 runs at the end of the allotted 20 overs against Friends XI club.
Mohit who plays for the same club that India discard opener Gautam Gambhir used to play for has represented Delhi in 3 first class matches in October 2015 before being overlooked due to poor performances.
