9 Most unexpected records in cricket

8. Ajit Agarkar – Fastest fifty by Indian batsman in ODIs

Former Indian pacer Ajit Agarkar though was not a typical tail-ender but had the tendency of throwing his wicket away. He was always seen as a bowling all-rounder by his domestic side Mumbai and in the Indian team as well.

He was embarrassingly named as ‘Bombay duck’ after he was dismissed for seven ducks in a row. Agarkar was lucky that he did not play in the in the social media age.

But, he stunned everyone by hitting a record breaking 21 balls half century. He hit seven 4s and 4 sixes and scored his runs with a strike rate of 268. Unexpected isn’t it?
