The scenario of cricket has changed
drastically over the years. The batsmen have improved their pace of
scoring runs on field while bowlers have also sharpened their skills.
At a time when players thrive to score
runs as fast as they can, some batsmen have got an emabarrasing
record linked to their names.
Here is a list of 5 Indian players who
have scored slowest half-century
1. Mohammad Kaif
Kaif took 98 balls to complete his
fifty against New Zealand on 14th March 2003. India was chasing a
small target of 147 runs and the men-in-blue won the match by 7
wickets.
2. Former captain Sourav Ganguly
Ganguly's half-century was completed in
104 balls against Bangladesh on 17th April 2007 during a World Cup
match.
India lost the match by 5 wickets.
3. Sourav Ganguly
Well, dada got the disappointing record
twice under his belt. He once took 105 balls against Sri Lankan in
2005. India lost this match as well.
4. Mahendra Singh Dhoni
It is shocking that Dhoni has also
found a place in this place. The inning from Dhoni's bat came
recently against West Indies when Mahi played 108 balls to score a
half-century.
West Indies defeated India in this
match.
5. Sadagoppan Ramesh
Ramesh crossed the mark of 50 runs in
110 balls against Kenya on 29th September 1999.
Even after scoring a small score of 220
runs, India won the match.
