In an exciting clash at the T20 World Cup in Chennai, Yuvraj Samra made history by shattering records with an impressive century that propelled Canada to a competitive total of 173 for 4 against New Zealand. The 19-year-old cricketer achieved a remarkable feat by becoming the youngest player to score a century in World Cup history, reaching the milestone at just 19 years and 141 days. Samra’s stellar performance saw him hit 110 runs off 65 balls, showcasing his immense talent and potential on the global stage.
The young batsman played a crucial role in establishing a solid foundation for Canada, forming a significant 114-run partnership for the first wicket with captain Dilpreet Bajwa, who contributed a steady 36 runs off 39 balls. This innings is especially noteworthy considering Canada’s struggles in the tournament so far, having lost all their previous matches.
