New Delhi: Gongadi Trisha etched her name in history books on Tuesday, January 28, by becoming the first player in the ICC Women’s U19 T20 World Cup history to score a hundred. The right-handed batter scored the landmark century during India’s Super Six match against Scotland, which is currently being played at Bayuemas Oval in Kuala Lumpur.
Dubbed as India’s future superstar, the 19-year-old crossed the three-figure mark with a single on the last ball of the 18th over. Trisha, who reached the century in just 53 balls, remained unbeaten on 110 runs from 59 balls. Her sensational knock helped India post a huge total of 208 runs for the loss of one wicket in 20 overs.
Trisha’s century was studded with 13 fours and 4 sixes. She and G Kamalini (51 from 42 balls) stitched a 147-run stand for the first wicket in 13.3 overs. Trisha then added 61 for the second wicket with Sanika Chalke (29 from 20 balls).
