A hard-hitting opening batsman, Aneurin Donald follows a simple mantra when he walks out to bat: See ball, hit ball. It's that easy and simple. He may not have any connections with the Indian great Virender Sehwag, but Donald's batting, most certainly, reminds you a shade of Sehwagness in his style and approach.
At Clown Bay in 2016, Donald blitzed 234 off 136 balls and equalled the record for fastest double hundred in first-class cricket. Incidentally, that was Donald's maiden Championship hundred and he was just 18 when he thrashed Derbyshire bowlers to all corners. The fact that he smashed a six to reach his 100, 150 and 200 revealed the kind of player he is and of course, the promise and panache.
Donald also shared captaincy duties alongside Haseeb Hammed for England Under 19s in 2015 and couldn't quite emulate his domestic success in the national colors. Donald's great uncle Bernard Hedges played 422 games for Glamorgan during 1950-1967.
