Karnataka Premier League: Krishnappa Gowtham creates record will his all-round figures
Gowtham who is representing Ballari Tuskers in Karnataka Premier League (KPL), smashed fastest hundred in the tournament’s history, in just 39 balls.
Karnataka all-rounder Krishnappa Gowtham grabbed all the limelight on Friday with best all-round performance of his playing career. Gowtham who is representing Ballari Tuskers in Karnataka Premier League (KPL), smashed fastest hundred in the tournament’s history, in just 39 balls. He remained unbeaten on 134 in 56 balls to register the highest total with the bat in KPL history.
If his fireworks with the bat were not enough, Gowtham also registered the best bowling figures ever in a T20 match. The off-spinner picked up 8/15 in his 4 overs, to help his side to a 70-run victory against Shivamogga Lions.
The Rajasthan Royals player also hit the most number of sixes in an innings in KPL, with 13 big hits. In total, he produced 106 runs via fours and sixes, the highest by any player in an innings in KPL history. Gowtham’s feat though will not be considered an official record in the books, as state T20 leagues are not given an official T20 status. Instead, the matches are categorized as “Other T20s”.
After the match, the Karnataka player said: “I don’t think I expected this, nor did anyone else out here. Thanks to everyone who turned up and supported us.”
Colin Ackermann, currently holds the best figures with 7/18 in a Vitality Blast tournament in England earlier this month.
