In cricket, scoring one, two, three, four, or six runs on a single delivery is common, but getting an all run 'seven' is super rare, and Australian cricketer Matt Renshaw achieved this extraordinary feat.
Actually, in a four-day warm-up game between Australia's Prime Minister's XI and Pakistan, Australian batter Matt Renshaw did something extraordinary, as he reached his half-century by scoring a '7' without hitting a boundary.
Renshaw hit a fantastic shot to deep extra cover off Pakistan's Abrar Ahmed on the fifth delivery of the 78th over. Mir Hamza, the fielder, managed to stop the ball from reaching the boundary, but what followed was unexpected.

Hamza threw the ball to the non-striker's end, where Babar Azam, the former skipper of Pakistan, collected the ball. At this point, Renshaw had already taken three runs.
But Babar's throw towards the wicketkeeper's end missed both the stumps and the fielder as it went to the boundary, allowing Renshaw to get an extra 4 runs, totaling 7 and reaching his half-century in a way that got everyone talking on social media.

Notably, Renshaw is one of the top contenders to replace veteran Australia opener David Warner after his retirement from the longest format of the game. Renshaw was unbeaten on 136 runs in 337 balls with 8 fours and 1 six at the end of day three.
