Wasim Jaffer Creates History during his Irani Cup Knock

The 40-year-old Wasim Jaffer creates history during his outstanding knock in the ongoing Irani Trophy. Meanwhile, Ranji Champions Vidarbha is taking on Rest of India in the Irani Cup match at Nagpur.

Jaffer shited his base from Mumbai to Vidarbha and helped them win the Ranji Trophy. Also, he scored tons of runs to guide his side for the first title.

Vidarbha is currently on 598 for three at the end of second day’s play after they elected to bat first. The openers provided a good start posting 101 runs on the board before Jaffer came to the middle. He paced his innings brilliantly as Vidarbha piled on runs.

Ganesh Satish provided good support with a timely knock of 120 runs. Although Satish departed, Jaffer kept going. He took on every bowler and played some brilliant shots down the ground.

Further, Jaffer remained unbeaten on 285 runs with the help of 34 bound boundaries and one six. The classical right-hander is looking well to bring up his second triple-hundred in first-class cricket.

The Vidarbha batsmen continued to enjoy on this belter of a surface as the bowlers went in search of the leather. Ravichandran Ashwin, Sidharth Kaul, and Jayant Yadav picked a piece each.

Jaffer creates a record:

Wasim Jaffer the legend just went from strength to strength, racking up a series of records. He also reached the 18,000 runs landmark in first-class cricket.

Also, he became the first 40-year-old Indian batsman to register a 250+ in a first-class match. Further, he is also the first Asian cricketer to achieve this feat.

So far, Jaffer has played 241 first-class matches scoring at an average of just under 50. Also, he has 52 hundred and 86 half-centuries to his name.

Meanwhile, Vidarbha is looking in good control of the match with only two days played. For Rest of India, they will like to pick early wickets in the morning session of day 3 and put a halt to Vidarbha’s run flow.
