Vaibhav Suryavanshi made his own identity in the cricket world while playing for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025. This season was very memorable for him. Now another player from Rajasthan Royals has created a panic by making his debut in international cricket. This player has done the work of scoring a century in his first innings in Tests. The name of this player is Luan-Dri Pretorius. Luan-Dri Pretorius played this memorable innings against Zimbabwe while making her debut for South Africa.
A century scored in debut test at the age of 19
A new star has emerged in the first match of the two -match Test series between South Africa and Zimbabwe, which started on 28 June 2025. South Africa’s young batsman Luan-Dri Pretorius started his Test career with a brilliant century, which became an exciting moment for cricket fans. At the age of just 19, Pretorians scored a century off 112 balls, including 7 fours and 2 sixes.
Team overcome difficult situation
When Pritorius came to bat, South Africa’s team had lost three wickets for 23 runs. This situation was a matter of concern for the team, but Pritorius performed brilliantly, accepting this challenge. In his innings, he showed a mixture of restraint and aggression, which helped the team into a strong position. His century is not only a personal achievement, but also proved to be a significant turn for the team. Luan-Dri Pritorius left his mark in domestic cricket, and now he has a great debut at the international level.
This happened after 9 years
Let me tell you, Luan-Dri Pretorians have become the first player to score a century in a debut test for South Africa in the last 9 years. Prior to him, in 2016, Stephen Cook did this wonders. He scored a century while debuting against England. At the same time, Luan-Dri Pretorians are only the 7th batsman from South Africa who have touched the 100 runs in the debut Test.
