USA vs UAE: Milind Kumar, an Indian-born cricketer playing for America, made a unique record on Tuesday. He has become the first batsman in the history of ODI cricket to finish his innings with a score of 155. Milind played a blistering innings of 155 runs in 110 balls for America against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and made this strange record in his name. Let us tell you that in the history of ODI cricket, it has happened 63 times so far when a player has scored between 150 and 159 runs. But Milind is the first batsman to score 155 runs.

He scored his first 50 off 56 balls, went to 100 off 92 in the 46th over, and then went berserk in the final 4 overs adding another 55 off 18. pic.twitter.com/jjM4CguVgn

Ranji's highest scorer

In the 53-year history of ODI cricket, 4773 ODI matches have been played so far. Since the first ODI was played in 1971, no player has been able to do this till now. Milind, who has torn apart the UAE bowlers with his dangerous batting, is a very brilliant player. His average in first class cricket is around 50, most of which he has played for India. It is noteworthy that Milind, who once played for Sikkim and Delhi in the Ranji Trophy, was the highest run-scorer in the 2018-19 Ranji season. He scored a total of 1331 runs in this season of the Ranji Trophy.
