New Delhi. The date of 12 March 2006 is very special in the history of ODI cricket. Herschelle Gibbs has a big contribution behind its importance. This South African batsman had scored a brilliant 175 runs while chasing the huge target of 434 runs against Australia in Johannesburg that day. Herschelle Gibbs is named among the most dangerous batsmen in the history of cricket. Although he played many brilliant innings, when South Africa became the first team in ODI history to successfully chase the target of more than 400 runs, the innings of this batsman were important.
This innings was brilliant anyway, but what made it special was that Herschelle Gibbs was having a hangover after partying the night before the match. In his autobiography, Gibbs revealed that he had been drinking with a friend until 1 am and had a severe hangover when he came out to bat. However, this did not affect his batting and Gibbs made his best score in limited overs cricket by hitting 21 fours and 7 sixes.
