Brathwaite creates history by scoring 7 runs off single ball


Sydney, Jan 05 : West Indies opener Kraigg Brathwaite made cricket history by getting off the mark with seven runs from a single delivery in the third Test against South Africa at Newlands.

Brathwaite ran three and gained four extra runs when wicketkeeper AB de Villiers shied at the stumps at the bowler's end and the ball went to the boundary.

This was the first occasion in Test history when a batsman's first runs were a seven, News.com.au reported.

Brathwaite was eventually dismissed for 16 as the West Indies closed the third day on 2-88 in their second innings, four runs behind the home team, the report added.
