Whanganui and St Johns Tech all-rounder Akash Gill rewrote the record books when he became the first Canadian batsman to hit a century in the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup.
The Canadian import scored an epic 120 in his country's 80-run plate quarter-final victory over Papua New Guinea at the world tournament in Christchurch on Monday.
Gill became the 13th player to notch a century in the 12th edition of the tournament and his performance was the highlight from among the two matches played in Christchurch that day.
Gill cracked 12 fours and two sixes as Canada notched a competitive 265 for eight after being asked to bat first.
Gill was later named Player of the Match adding to his MVP awarded for his performance against Namibia last week.
