10 strangest scorecards cricket has witnessed
While a few numbers in cricket bring on a smile on our face, some will make us break our heads as to how that even transpired.
8. Deepak Chahar’s dream debut dooms Hyderabad
Not many can have a debut as memorable as Deepak Chahar in First-class cricket. The 18-year-old young sensation announced his arrival at the highest level in a grandiose way, which made everyone glance at him with awe. It did take some time for him to get to the next level, but he seems a great prospect still for Indian cricket.
In 2010, while Hyderabad decided to bat first against Rajasthan, debutant Chahar picked up 8 wickets in just 7.3 overs as Hyderabad got bowled out for just 21 runs. Skipper Hrishikesh Kanitkar chipped in with a 193 for Rajasthan as they posted 403 runs in reply.
Rajasthan were handed a mighty innings and 256-run victory after Hyderabad were bowled out for 126 runs in their second innings. Deepak Chahar picked up 4 wickets in the second innings as well, registering match figures of 12/64. Hyderabad, who held the record for the highest team score (944/6) in Ranji Cricket, also bagged the record for the lowest score after this game.
