Record-breaking century by Tim Seifert

Tim Seifert is not all about T-20 batting. In the Plunket Shield Tournament 2017-18 which is a First-Class tournament, he scored 703 runs in just 9 games at an average of 78.11. It’s hard to digest his consistency, isn’t it? It means that he can also curb his instincts of playing aggressively and can modify himself as per the situation.
