Five interesting facts about the retiring Proteas spinner Robin Peterson

#3 Second most runs in an over in ODIs

Not a record Peterson would be proud of

Almost a decade later, Robbie was at it again as Thisara Perera took full toil of some lacklustre bowling to plunder 35 runs, the second highest runs scored in an over in ODIs. The incident was in the third ODI of the 2013 South African tour of Sri Lanka at Pallekele.

Sri Lanka were down at 94/7 needing 130 more to win with Thisara Perera and Herath at the crease when Peterson stepped in to bowl. Perera, on 5 off 14 balls at the time, swept him over square leg to start the over with a six. 4 more slog-swept sixes over cow corner followed in the over with a wide ball and a four down the ground adding up to 35 in the over.

Perera hit a 49 ball 65 but was eventually dismissed as Lanka lost the game by a big margin.
