Glenn Turner Odi Record: In every match on the cricket field, new records are made and broken, but there are some records that are not even erased. There is one such historical record that has not been able to break any player since the last 50 years.

The great New Zealand batsman Glenn Turner has once again come into the limelight amid the ongoing Test series between England and India. The reason is his incredible record, which has remained unbreakable since 1975.

When ODI was 60 overs

In 1975, an ODI match was played between New Zealand and East Africa. At that time the ODI match was 60 overs. In this match, Glenn Turner did something that no one could do till date.

  • 201 balls batting
  • Unbeaten innings of 171 runs
  • 60 overs stood at crease
  • 16 fours and 2 sixes

New Zealand’s big win

New Zealand scored 309 runs on the strength of Glenn Turner’s strong batting. In response, the East Africa team could score only 128 runs and lost the match by 181 runs. Turner got the title of ‘Man of the Match’.

No one could break this record for 50 years

There is now a 50 -over format in ODI cricket, but no batsman has been able to play 201 balls so far. This record of Turner remains an example in ODI history even today.

Other long innings batsmen

  • Ashish Bagai (Canada) – 137 runs off 172 balls in 2007
  • Bill Ethi (England) – 142 runs off 172 balls in 1986

While today’s cricket innings rests at a high speed and strike rate, this innings of Glenn Turner tells us that struggle, patience and consistency can also be matching. Even after 50 years, this record remains unwavering makes it immortal in the cricket world.
