‘The real don of cricket’, failed in the first match but still became the world’s greatest batsman, people say sir

New Delhi: If a list of all-time great batsmen of the cricket world is prepared, the first name in it will be that of Australia’s Don Bradman. This list cannot be imagined without this name. Bradman set such standards with his batting that are still considered big to achieve. This batsman made the world famous with his technique and runs but Bradman did not get the start that would have made him feel like a great batsman. Bradman made his debut on this day

This great right-handed batsman made his debut against England under Bradman. England won this match by a huge margin of 675 runs. Bradman scored only 18 runs in the first innings of this match. In the second innings he was out for just one run.

changed fate

That means Bradman had scored only 19 runs in his debut match. No one could have predicted what Bradman would do next that would take him to greatness. What happened today is that even when Bradman played his last Test match, it still remains a challenge for the batsmen to reach the average with which he retired. Bradman scored 6996 runs in 52 Test matches at an average of 99.94, which included 29 centuries and 13 fifties. Bradman was out for 0 runs in his last match, if he had scored four more runs his average would have been 100.

If we look at Bradman’s first career, he has scored a total of 117 centuries and 69 half-centuries in 234 matches at an average of 95.14. His best score in Test is 334 while in First Class this figure is 452.

title of Milli Sir

Bradman’s batting is still considered an example and that is why he was later given the title of Sir. He is now called Sir Don Bradman. To receive Bradman’s praise was a great thing and the great Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar achieved it. After seeing Sachin, Bradman said that seeing this Indian batsman reminds him of himself.
