It is very rare to see a maiden over in T20 cricket. Nowadays every team tries to capitalise as much as they can with every over of the innings. To bowl a maiden over on your debut makes it even more special for a bowler. In this article we will tell you about those Indian bowlers who bowled their first over as maiden over in T20Is.
At first, we have our chief selector of the Indian cricket team, Ajit Agarkar who bowled first over of his T20 cricket as a maiden over against South Africa in 2006 in Johannesburg. It was because of Agarkar’s over that helped team India in gaining the momentum in the match.
At second we have India’s left arm white ball fast bowler, Arshdeep Singh who has now become India’s leading fast bowler in T20Is. In past two T20 World Cups, Arshdeep Singh has constantly performed for team India. He repeated Agarkar’s feat in 2022 against England on his debut match at Southampton. He bowled a maiden over in his first over of the spell.
Third and last on our list his none other than IPL 2024 star, Mayank Yadav who became famous in IPL 2024 for his fats bowling. In IPL 2024 we saw Mayank constantly touching that 150-speed mark.
