Fourteen-year-old Azib Javed hit himself into the record books at Hoppers Crossing Cricket Club on Saturday and his father was at the crease with him for the special moment.
Azib who was playing for the Cats third XI, hit his first century after resuming on 80. He finished on 100 not out.
The Cats said on social media, that Azib is one of, if not the youngest centurions in the club’s history. He has been at the club since he was 11.
Making the moment more special, Azib’s father Abdul Javed was at the other end of the pitch when his son made his 100.
The pair put on a 79 partnership, both finishing not out in win against Strathmore.
Azib said it marked the best day of his life and it was made more special for him when his dad was batting with him on the other end
He also said scoring the Hundred also made him realise that his hard work and dedication paid off and that the hug he received from his father when he hit three figures meant a lot to him.
The Cats declared once Azib got his 100 to try and get an outright win, but fell two wickets short of getting all 10 second innings wickets.
