French batter Gustav McKeon hits another T20I century, breaks multiple records

Kerava: France opening batter Gustav McKeon has rewritten the record books yet again with another stunning century at the Europe T20 World Cup 2024 Sub-Regionals.

McKeon blasted five fours and eight sixes in his 53-ball 101 against Norway on Wednesday, bringing up three figures with a huge six over mid-wicket.

On Monday, the Frenchman brought up a hundred against Switzerland in Vantaa and became the youngest Men's player to score a T20I hundred at 18 years and 280 days breaking Hazratullah Zazai's record by more than two years, with the Afghanistan opener's 162* from 62 balls against Ireland in 2019 scored at 20 years and 337 days.

McKeon becomes the first man to score back-to-back centuries in the T20I format, with his run tally of 286 also breaking the record for the most runs scored in the first three innings of a men's T20I career, ICC reported.

The opener breaks the record of Azhar Andani, who made scores of 46, 100 and 81 in his first three innings for Portugal last year. (UNI)
