The Rwandan record breaker who faced Tony Blair
Meet Rwanda cricketer Eric Dusingizimana, who has become a Guinness World Record holder after batting for 51 hours in a cricket net in Kigali.
Dusingizimana, who was raising money for the Rwanda Cricket Stadium Foundation, was allowed a five-minute break every completed hour.
Those who bowled to him included former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and Dusingizimana's wife Sonia.
Eric celebrated his achievement by standing on his head.
"After 51 hours, I was still strong," he said. "I felt like I could push up to maybe 60. But when I reached home, that's when I realised I was really tired. I slept all weekend, with pain in the whole body."
