Nepal batter Dipendra Singh Airee has broken a record formerly held by India's cricketing star Yuvraj Singh. Airee shocked the cricket world by scoring the quickest-ever fifty in Twenty20 internationals in the 2023 Asian Games.

Also Kushal Malla scored the fastest T20 hundred (34 balls) and the team total (314/3) was the highest in T20 cricket history, breaking the 300-run barrier for the first time. Nepal registered a record 273-run win in the match against Mongolia.

Nepal's Kushal Malla scored 137 not out off 50 balls with 12 sixes and eight fours, and Dipendra Singh hit 52 not out off 10 balls with eight sixes, setting a new record for the fastest fifty in the format and surpassing Yuvraj Singh's previous mark.

Dipendra reached his fifty in just 9 balls faster than Yuvraj's fifty against England in the 2007 World Cup (Yuvraj's fifty took 12 balls).

On the other hand, Malla made the record for the fastest century in international T20 cricket by scoring a century in 34 balls. Earlier this record was held by Rohit Sharma and David Miller. Rohit scored a 35-ball century against Sri Lanka in 2017. In the same year, Miller scored a 35-ball century against  Bangladesh.
