New Delhi: South African speedster Wayne Parnell on Sunday took the cricketing fraternity by surprise with a brilliant knock in the ongoing Ram Slam tournament.
Parnell smashed a career-best 99 from 57 balls to fire Cape Cobras to a six-wicket win over Highveld Lions.
The southpaw, who was missed out on a century, took to Twitter to explain that he always put the team ahead of milestones.
A lot of people asking why I didn't go for my century, those that know me well know that I always put the team ahead of personal accolades.

It's the way I've always played my cricket and sometimes I get criticized for it but I've always been WE before ME. Happy to get the win!!
