Richard Levi Cricketer
Richard Ernst Levi (born 14 January 1988 in Johannesburg) is a South African cricketer. He played in the 2006 U-19 Cricket World Cup in Sri Lanka. He currently plays for Western Province and Cape Cobras. He attended Wynberg Boys' High school in Cape Town and received honours for cricket in 2005. On 19 February 2012, Levi scored 117n.o. in a Twenty20 International innings against New Zealand at Seddon Park in Hamilton. The innings set new records for the sixes in an innings (13) and the fastest century (45 balls). He also tied Chris Gayle's record for most runs scored in a Twenty20 International innings; CricInfo recognises Levi's innings as the outright record for highest score, because Gayle was dismissed but Levi was not out. He plays for Mumbai Indians in the IPL. He was reportedly signed for $400,000.
