"Don Bradman: The Greatest Batsman in Cricket History"
Donald George Bradman, widely known as Don Bradman, was an Australian cricketer who is considered one of the greatest batsmen in the history of the sport. He was born on August 27, 1908, in Cootamundra, New South Wales, Australia, and passed away on February 25, 2001, in Kensington Park, South Australia, Australia.
Bradman's career spanned from 1927 to 1948, during which he achieved numerous records and accolades. He played 52 Test matches for the Australian national team and scored an astonishing 6,996 runs at an average of 99.94, which remains the highest average in Test cricket history. His remarkable batting average is often cited as one of the most extraordinary achievements in any major sport.
Bradman was known for his impeccable technique, concentration, and ability to score big runs consistently. He scored 29 centuries and 13 fifties in Test cricket, including his highest individual score of 334 against England in 1930. He also holds the record for the highest number of double centuries in Test cricket with 12.
During the famous 1930 Ashes series, Bradman amassed a staggering 974 runs in just seven innings, setting a record for the most runs scored in a Test series. His phenomenal performances earned him the nickname "The Don" and established him as a sporting legend.
Bradman's career was interrupted by World War II, during which he served in the Australian military. After the war, he returned to cricket and captained the Australian team in several series, including the highly competitive Ashes contests against England.
After retiring from international cricket in 1948, Bradman remained involved in the sport as an administrator and selector. He was knighted in 1949 for his services to cricket and was named Australian of the Year in 1979.
