scored a century with a borrowed bat

The interesting thing was that Luan-Dre Pretorius scored a stormy century with a borrowed bat. After the match was over, Pretorius told that he had scored this historic century with the bat of his opening partner Finn Allen. Pretorius said smilingly, ‘I was actually playing with Finn’s bat. I think that if I had played with my own bat, I probably would not have been able to hit such big sixes. Now I will ask him nicely if I can keep this bat in my bag.

Let us tell you that before Luan-Dre Pretorius, the record of scoring the youngest century in MLC was in the name of Australian opener Mitchell Owen. Mitchell Owen, playing for Washington Freedom, played an innings of 155 runs against MI New York last month. However, now Luan-Dre Pretorius has made this record in his name by scoring a century at the age of just 20.
