Aaron Jones made these special records in his name
Let us tell you that in the match against Canada, Aaron Jones played an unbeaten innings of 94* runs in 40 balls. During this innings, he hit 4 fours and 10 sixes. With the innings of 94 runs, Aaron Jones has become the second player to score the highest in the debut match of the T20 World Cup.
Before Jones, former West Indies cricket team explosive batsman Chris Gayle holds the record of scoring the most runs in a debut match of the T20 World Cup. It is worth mentioning that Gayle played a brilliant innings of 117 runs in 57 balls against South Africa in the 2007 T20 World Cup.
This is the highest score ever made by any player in a debut match of T20 World Cup. Apart from this, Aaron Jones also hit 10 sixes in this match, which is jointly the first number of sixes hit in an innings played in T20 World Cup history.
Earlier, Chris Gayle had hit a total of 10 sixes in an innings against South Africa in the 2007 T20 World Cup. So if Jones had been able to hit one more six against Canada on June 1, he would have become the first player to hit the most sixes in an innings played in the T20 World Cup.
