Puran has broken the world record of Pakistan’s wicketkeeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan. The world record for scoring most runs in a calendar year in T20 cricket is in the name of Puran. Rizwan had created history in the shorter format of cricket 3 years ago. Puran is playing for Trinbago Knightriders in the Caribbean Premier League. He set a world record in the match against Barbados. Puran’s team won this match by 30 runs.

But this record is now in the name of Puran.
