In a remarkable display of cricketing prowess, Nepal‘s young sensation, Dipendra Singh Airee, has shattered a long-standing record held by India‘s cricketing legend Yuvraj Singh. At the Asian Games 2023, Airee achieved the fastest half-century in T20 internationals, sending shockwaves through the cricketing world and making his nation proud.

Dipendra Singh’s remarkable feat occurred during Nepal’s group stage match against Mongolia. His explosive batting performance left spectators in awe as he raced to his fifty in just nine balls. This incredible achievement surpassed Yuvraj’s record, which stood at 50 runs in 12 balls, set during the inaugural ICC T20 World Cup in 2007.

Airee’s 10-ball knock of unbeaten 52 was nothing short of spectacular. He dispatched the Mongolian bowlers to all corners of the ground, hitting 8 sixes to reach his half-century milestone. The crowd at Hangzhou’s Pingfeng Campus Cricket Field erupted in applause and cheered for the young Nepali batter who had etched his name into cricketing history.

This achievement is not only a testament to Dipendra Singh’s exceptional talent but also a moment of pride for Nepal, which is emerging as a competitive force in international cricket. The 23-year-old all-rounder has been a rising star in Nepali cricket, and this record-breaking performance on a global stage further solidifies his status as one of the game’s brightest prospects.
