Corey Anderson Biography, Age, Height, Weight, Family, Wiki & More

Corey Anderson is a hard-hitting left-hander, who can also bowl medium pace, he became the youngest New Zealander to get a contract at 16. Right from a young age, people expected big things from the all-rounder. He played two Under-19 World Cups, one in 2008 and the other, two years later.

 

Corey Anderson had always been known for his powerful striking, but he took it to a new level on New Year's Day 2014 when he set what was then the world record for the fastest ODI hundred with a 36-ball blitzkrieg against West Indies in Queenstown. It came at a time, a few months after he scored a century in his second Test, that Anderson was suggesting he was ready to fulfill the potential spotted in him as a teenager.

 

Anderson made his first-class debut in 2007 but had to wait till 2012 for his maiden first-class century. It was a big hundred, though - 167 against Otago - and soon after that, he was included in New Zealand's squad for the Twenty20 international series in South Africa.  He has established himself as a regular member of the New Zealand side in all three formats and played a key role in their run to the ODI World Cup final in 2015. He made a strong case to be adjudged the all-rounder of the tournament, scoring two half-centuries, including a 58 in the semi-final chase against South Africa, and picking up 14 wickets at 16.71.

 

He played for Mumbai Indians in the 8th and 9th edition and has been roped in by Delhi Daredevils for the 10th edition of the tournament.
