In a remarkable display of bowling prowess, the Indian cricket team etched their names into the record books during the second T20I against Bangladesh in New Delhi on Wednesday. Seven different Indian bowlers managed to claim at least one wicket each, a feat that had never been accomplished by India in a T20I match before. This achievement also makes India the 11th nation to achieve this milestone in the history of the format.
The bowlers who contributed to this historic performance were: Arshdeep Singh, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mayank Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy, Riyan Parag, Abhishek Kumar, and Washington Sundar. Together, they snagged a combined nine wickets in the second innings, effectively restricting Bangladesh’s chase and securing a comfortable victory for India.
India had previously held the record of six bowlers taking wickets in an innings on several occasions, most recently at the 2023 Asian Games, coincidentally against Bangladesh. The remarkable performance against Bangladesh showcases the depth and versatility of the Indian bowling attack. The achievement cements India’s position as a dominant force in T20I cricket and highlights the team’s impressive ability to adapt and overcome challenges in various formats.
