When cricket in Australia is talked about, what comes to mind quite easily is are the heroes which are also the players for that country. For a country that is deep into the rigors of cricket, this surely does not come at a surprise. One player which is loved not just for the years of service which he has for the country but the immense qualities and talents which are always on display. It is no wonder that he is currently among the top ten players in the ICC ranking. This player is none other than Aaron Finch. Who is this man and how has his career gone.
To put it simply, his career has been a fabulous success. Aaron Finch was born on the 17th day of November 1986. This means two things. He has played for many years in the sport and he is also gradually reducing the point where he would have to hang up his boots. To say that he has an incredible outing would be an understatement. Let us consider some of the things that make him stand out apart from the others.
For one thing, he is the captain of his international team. He has been their captain when it comes to limited-overs cricket for quite a while. That is not all. When it comes to T20 series for countries and international tests, he has gathered a lot of records. Two records especially stand out. One of them would is the rating of 900 which he gathered during the T20 matches. That is the highest ranking in the history of rankings and this is coming after his debut in 2018 for Australia. He also holds the record for the highest score with 172 when he featured against Zimbabwe. To put this into perspective, the previous record was 152 and that record was also held by him.
When it comes to domestic cricket, he also had a lot of experience. He currently plays for the Victoria in his country, Surrey and is also the captain for the Renegades in Melbourne. When it comes to batting, he is often considered to be a top-order material while he has also ventured into spinning. Another record which he holds for his country would take us to the ODI format in cricket. he is the only person from his country to reach 10 ODI centuries in a very short time. Hence, his record stands until someone can dare beat it. No matter what your opinion is about his guy, you simply can’t argue with the records which he has built up. Being the first player in the history of the sports to score 150 in T20I is not a small feat. It is a feat that only a talented person can pull off.
The game of cricket is surely an interesting game. However, the game is made even richer when you have legends still playing in the game there is no doubt that Finch is a legend and that is one fact that is clear for all to see.
