Bas de Leede came for the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 as the golden boy of Dutch cricket. The gifted all-rounder was in decent form in the tournament --until on Wednesday. He now holds an unwanted record -- the bowler to concede the most runs in an ODI game.
Facing five-time champions Australia in New Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium, Bad de Leede leaked an astonishing 115 runs in his 10 overs -- the highest ever in the format.
Glenn Maxwell, who made 106 runs in 44 balls, punished Bad de Leede the most as he punished the youngster for 28 runs.
Michael Llewellyn Lewis of Australia conceded 113 runs from his quota of 10 overs against South Africa in Johannesburg on March 12, 2006. The record was matched by his countryman Adam Zampa against the same opposition 17 years later in Centurion, the ESPN CricInfo showed. The leggie was bashed around the park on September 15, 2023, by the Proteas batters.
