'The real don of cricket', failed in the first match but still became the world's greatest batsman, people say sir, his average is such that you can't believe it

Australia has given one batsman to the world. One of them is Sir Don Bradman. The list of the world's greatest batsmen of all time cannot be complete without this right-handed batsman. Bradman made his Test debut on this day. He failed in his first match but later became a great batsman.

Sports Desk, New Delhi. If a list of all-time great batsmen of the cricket world is prepared, the first name in it will be that of Australia's Don Bradman. This list cannot be imagined without this name. Bradman set such dimensions with his batting that till date it is considered a big thing to achieve. This batsman made the world famous with his technique and runs, but Bradman did not get the start that would make him feel that he is a great batsman. Bradman made his debut on this day.

This great right-handed batsman made his debut against England in Brisbane. England won this match by a huge margin of 675 runs. Bradman had scored only 18 runs in the first innings of this match. In the second innings, he was out after scoring only one run.Also read- IND vs AUS: Before the pink ball test, Australia got a big shock, star fast bowler got injured, out.

changed fate

That means Bradman had scored only 19 runs in his debut match. Seeing this, no one thought that what Bradman was going to do next would take him towards greatness. What happened today is that when Bradman played his last Test match, it is still a challenge for the batsmen to achieve the average with which he retired. Bradman scored 6996 runs in 52 Test matches at an average of 99.94, which included 29 centuries and 13 half-centuries. Bradman was out for 0 in his last match, if he had scored four more runs his average would have been 100. If we look at Bradman's first class career, he has scored a total of 117 centuries and 69 half-centuries in 234 matches at an average of 95.14. His best score in test is 334 while in first class this figure is 452.

Debut of the Don. There was little hint of what was to follow as Don Bradman made only 18 and 1 in his first Test appearance, against England in Brisbane.
It's not a match that he would have remembered too fondly – England won by a mighty 675 runs. #CricketTwitter #OnThisDay pic.twitter.com/bqmd9aVpmJ

got the title of Sir

Bradman's batting is still considered an example and this is the reason why he was later given the title of Sir. He is now called Sir Don Bradman. Getting Bradman's praise was a big thing and the great Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar had achieved it. Seeing Sachin, Bradman had said that seeing the Indian batsman reminds him of himself.
