Relive one of the finest batting performances in South African cricket history! 🏏br br In the 2nd Test against India at Kolkata in 1996, Andrew Hudson produced a brilliant 146 runs off 244 balls in 317 minutes, striking 24 elegant fours. Facing the fiery pace of Javagal Srinath and a charged-up Indian crowd of nearly 50,000 at Eden Gardens, Hudson displayed composure, patience, and pure class. 🌟br br Alongside Gary Kirsten, Hudson built a monumental 236-run opening partnership, the second-highest in South Africa’s history at that time. While Kirsten began fluently, Hudson grew in confidence, finding rhythm and timing that left the crowd in awe. His innings helped South Africa’s batsmen find form, with the Proteas creating history by scoring four centuries in a single Test for the first time ever.br br The result? A crushing victory for South Africa by a massive 329 runs, leveling the series and stamping their mark on world cricket.
