Sean Huddle, a 42-year-old cricketer, hit a double century in a C grade T20 cricket match in Alica Springs, Australia. Playing for Federal Demons against the PROBuild Rovers, Huddle smashed 202 in just 70 balls and remained unbeaten until the end of the innings.

Incidentally, this match was a comeback match for Huddle, who had stayed away from the game for a while. Evidently, he did not take much time to get into the grove as he hit 17 fours and 20 sixes en route to his double century.

Huddle is known for his big scores, having hit two 150+ scores in T20 games before in B grade T20 cricket.

In the end, Demons won the match with ease after posting a total of 298/5.

Speaking to NT News, Huddle said: “It came out of the middle and I thought, yeah I was starting to see them alright. Pretty much from there I was on. I think any player that has made runs would like to make a double ton.

“Considering this is like the end of my cricketing career and to get it so late in it, I’ll take it every day of the week. I have done a lot of things in cricket, taken hat-tricks and won premierships but as a personal milestone making 200 is right up there.”
