Here is a brief profile of Amir Jangoo who starred with a superb century on debut in the third ODI between West Indies and Bangladesh.

pixies of the forest Who is Amir Jangoo?

Amir Anthony Jangoo is a wicket-keeper batter who bats left-handed. Born in Trinidad on July 14, 1997, Jangoo made his international debut on December 12 at Warner Park in St Kitts in the third ODI between Bangladesh and West Indies. The left-hander stole the limelight on his debut with a stunning 83-ball 104 not out to guide West Indies to victory from a tricky situation.

Jangoo made his professional debut in 2015 for the West Indies U-19 side against Trinidad and Tobago in a List A match. His first class debut came two years later in 2017 for Trinidad and Tobago.

Jangoo's first class average is 34 with one century and list A average is 32.63 with two centuries.

The first quarter started off on a very strong note for South Korea as they displayed a very attacking brand of hockey. Jihun Yang also converted a penalty corner to give them the lead. 

His T20 numbers are not that impressive. Jangoo first got a chance in the Caribbean Premier League in 2020 for Trinidad and Tobago Knight Riders but did not get much time on the pitch. In 2022 and 2023, he played a total of 11 games for Jamaica Tallawahs but could not cash in on the opportunities. His highest score in the CPL is just 30 and the strike rate of 80 in 12 innings also does not paint a pretty picture.

However747 live, on his ODI debut, Jangoo showed he could play the waiting as well as the attacking game. His 80-ball ton on debut became the fastest ever ODI century by a debutant. This also became the first instance of a batter batting at number six scored a century on ODI debut.
