Lhuan-dre Pretorius breaks Chris Gayle’s T20 scoring record

It was the second world record that Pretorius has broken in the past month, after the 20-year-old became the youngest player from an ICC Full Member nation to score a T20 International century, when he hit 101 off 53 balls against Namibia last month.“So that’s our mindset, we go out there to hit the ball as hard as we possibly can, and I think that’s where T20 cricket is going at the moment “Leus and Q (Qeshile) had a brilliant first two games (opening the batting) and they started really quick, so I had big shoes to fill, and luckily it paid off.” Pretorius also spoke of the mindset in the team, that has seen the openers at the top of the order going incredibly hard in the tournament so far, with Sinethemba Qeshile hitting 59 off 25 balls and 56 off 18 in the first two games, while Leus du Plooy hit 77 off 28 in the first.
