    "editor1": "<p>In the concluded Challenger match of the Big Bash League (BBL 2021-22) between Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Sixers, Hayden Kerr emerged as the best player of the match for Sixers with his 98*, taking Sydney to the BBL Finals with a 4 wicket victory. But, did you know that before this match, this batter had a batting average of 11 in T20s?<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sydney Sixers lost their regular opener and wicketkeeper Josh Philippe a few hours before the match, due to Covid. The team&#39;s assistant coach Jay Lenton donned the gloves for Sixers. However, the opening slot was taken by a batter who had played at #8 for Sixers in this season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hayden Kerr had never opened the innings before this match in this season. He had played 7 innings, batting at #8 registering 52 runs to his name. Kerr&#39;s highest score before this match was 22, and his batting average read 11.00.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Extraordinary Knock from Hayden Kerr!<br \/>\r\n.<br \/>\r\n.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Cricket?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Cricket<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BBL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BBL<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SydneySixers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SydneySixers<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/HaydenKerr?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#HaydenKerr<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WikMG1sFpe\">pic.twitter.com\/WikMG1sFpe<\/a><\/p>\r\n&mdash; CRICKETNMORE (@cricketnmore) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cricketnmore\/status\/1486331630784753666?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 26, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong> <a href=\"  https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/australia-vs-england-ashes\">Ashes 2021-22 - England vs Australia Schedule and Squads<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, things took a big U-turn as the 25-year old smacked 98* runs off 58 balls while opening the innings for the first time, with 10 boundaries and 2 sixes.
