Mayank Yadav equals Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s T20I record with one wicket against Zimbabwe | Cricket News
Mayank Yadav has done it again. The pacer hit the first ball of Zimbabwe’s first innings, dismissing Brian Bennett for a golden duck in the third T20I, repeating the feat he achieved in the series opener.Bowling at 147 kmph, Mayank hit a sharp short ball that skimmed the water before climbing awkwardly. Bennett was caught on the back foot while trying to defend and could only push the ball towards first slip, where Vaibhav Sooryavanshi showed excellent reflexes to deliver a sharp chest-high catch to his left. Immediately after taking another first wicket, Mayank jumped into the air and celebrated with his trademark roar.
