Who Said What: Cricketing world reacts to Aaron Finch's record-breaking 172-run knock

In the third match of the T20I series involving Australia, Pakistan and the hosts Zimbabwe, Australia's Aaron Finch's 172-run blitzkrieg blew Zimbabwe away and in the process, the batsman made the highest individual score in T20I cricket, breaking his own record. The 76-ball innings saw him score as many as 16 fours and 10 sixes.Unfortunately, the opener couldn't score T20I's cricket first double century and was dismissed hit-wicket on the penultimate ball of the innings. Courtesy of the knock, Australia posted 229 runs in their quota of 20 overs.Here's how cricketing world reacted to the knock!Aaron Finch&quot;Feeling good. The wicket played better than we thought. It came on well. I knew about the records when I was batting, but a few things went my way today. I took the strike from Short a bit, but that kind of innings for him will also help him. When the wickets get slower and lower, that kind of innings will help. I was captain of the opposition when Gayle got 175, so I remembered that record as well (smiles). The wicket is very good, so we have to bowl well too.&quot;Mohammad KaifAaron Finch, what exceptional hitting. 172 in a T20 innings , beating his own world record.
