Arshdeep surpassed the record of Jasprit Bumrah, who reached this achievement in 41 innings. Bhuvneshwar Kumar reached this achievement in 42 innings.

Indian captain Jasprit Bumrah has also accomplished a tremendous feat. Bumrah took two wickets in the second T20I, conceding 15 runs in four overs. This will include a maiden. Bowled at 3.75 economy, Bumrah bowled a maiden. Bumrah has joined Bhuvneshwar Kumar in having the most maiden overs in T20Is. Both players bowled 20 maiden overs.
Sanju Samson, who fought on the strength of the Indians’ complete support in Ireland, put up a good fight. Sanju Samson batted brilliantly for India in the second match of the three-match T20 series against Ireland. Sanju, who came to the crease at number four, started the batting slowly but later caught fire. Sanju scored 40 runs off 26 balls, with five fours and one six. Sanju had a strike rate of 153.84. Sanju’s performance is promising amid reports that India’s squad for the Asia Cup may be announced today.
All other Indian pacers have bowled 18 maiden overs. Bumrah, who was in the grip of an injury, has now made a strong comeback. Bumrah’s return boosts India’s hopes ahead of the Asia Cup and ODI World Cup. In two T20I matches against Ireland, Bumrah took four wickets. His captaincy made it possible for India to win the series.
Irish captain Paul Stirling has a dreadful track record. Paul Stirling has reached the shame of being the most deserving player in men’s T20. Stirling returned to the deck with 4 balls straight in the second T20 against India. This was his T20 international career’s 13th deck. With this, Stirling had to add his name to the shameful record. He has scored 3408 runs from 130 T20 innings.
The third T20 against Ireland will be held on the 23rd. India will try to win this and sweep the series. With the T20 World Cup coming up next year, the performances of India’s young players will give the team a lot of hope.
