Jordan Hermann credits ‘lucky charm’ girlfriend after record-equalling ODI debut
Jordan Hermann credited girlfriend Inge Krog as a “good luck charm” after scoring 150 on his Proteas ODI debut against Namibia in Windhoek.
Jordan Hermann, the new star batter for South Africa's Proteas, scored a world-record 150 runs in his ODI debut against Namibia in Windhoek. His girlfriend, Inge Krog, was present in the stands, which Hermann attributed to his good fortune. Krog reportedly possessed a special power, as Hermann was initially caught short of his ground but was given not out by the umpires.
Despite this unusual turn of events, Hermann proceeded to score a half-century, then a century, and ultimately 150 runs, hitting 17 fours and 3 sixes in 126 balls. He expressed his gratitude to his teammate Tony de Zorzi, who contributed 72 runs off the bat. The Proteas won the match by 99 runs, giving them a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
