Nepal’s star allrounder Dipendra Singh Airee has etched his name in cricket record book by completing 66 Twenty20 Internationals (T20I) innings without registering a duck in his career.

Airee achieved the feat (of no Duck in T20I career) during Nepal’s emphatic six-wicket win over Kuwait on April 10, where he played a blistering knock of 31 runs off just 12 balls, helping his team chase down the target of 186.

With this milestone, Airee surpassed the previous record of 65 innings held by West Indies veteran Marlon Samuels. Meanwhile, South African finisher David Miller still holds the record for the most consecutive T20I innings without a duck (90).

Airee who’s played 76 T20I matches is ranked No.2 among T20I allrounders and is no stranger to record-breaking performances. He has already smashed six sixes in an over in international cricket and also holds the record for the fastest T20I fifty, which he scored in just 9 balls.
