Yuvraj Samra hits record T20 World Cup ton
Yuvraj Samra smashed a stunning century for Canada against New Zealand in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup on Monday, becoming the youngest player to score a hundred in the tournament’s history.
The teenager reached three figures with fearless strokeplay, combining clean hitting with composure beyond his years to lift Canada to a competitive total. His knock, which included a flurry of boundaries in the death overs, briefly put New Zealand under pressure in the group-stage clash.
“It’s a dream to score a World Cup hundred,” Samra said after the innings. A New Zealand bowler admitted: “He took the game away from us for a while.”
A tournament analyst described the effort as “a breakthrough moment for Canadian cricket,” as Samra announced himself on the global stage with a record-setting performance.
