West Indies opener Kraigg Brathwaite has gone down in history for one of the most unusual records to ever be set.

According to South African statistician Andrew Samson, Brathwaite became the first player in Test history to get off the mark with a seven.

Brathwaite achieved this feat during the third Test against South Africa in Cape Town. The West Indian opener initially ran three but got four more courtesy of an overthrow from AB de Villiers.
