England's legendary all-rounder Ian Botham had a wonderful career. He led his team to victory in many matches with the help of ball and bat. But his career was also in controversies. August 21 was a very special day in his career. 35 years ago, on 21 August, Ian Botham returned to cricket and recorded a world record in his name.
Ian Botham was banned for 2 months by the England Cricket Board because he drank ganja. He himself admitted this. But two months later, on August 21, when Ian Botham returned to the field, it rocked. The match was played between England and New Zealand at The Oval. In this match, he played an innings of 59 runs in 36 balls. Apart from this, he also took 2 wickets.
This match was drawn due to rain. However, due to his performance, Ian Botham was engrossed in the world. Ian Botham had frequent fights with the players of Australia. He never got along with Ian Chappell. In 2012, these two giants clashed outside the Adelaide ground and both of them grabbed each other's throats.
