Lhuan-dre Pretorius of South Africa’s Titans achieved the highest individual score in Twenty20 cricket history on Friday, smashing 188 not out off 79 balls against the Knights in a CSA T20 Challenge match. Pretorius’s innings included an impressive 13 sixes and 15 fours, surpassing Chris Gayle’s previous record of 175 not out set in the Indian Premier League in 2013. The 20-year-old left-handed batter narrowly missed a double century as the Titans posted a total of 267 for three. Despite recent injury setbacks, Pretorius has been in excellent form, having recently scored a century for South Africa against Namibia in a T20 international last month. This remarkable feat solidifies his position as a rising star in the cricket world. The match took place during a domestic fixture for the South Africa’s Titans franchise.
