Batsmen have dominated T20 cricket. In this format, fans mostly get to see fours and sixes. But the Hong Kong cricket team has done such a feat which is no less than a dream. This bowler has made a record of bowling 4 overs in a T20 International match. That is, no batsman could score a single run against this bowler in the entire match. This feat was seen in a match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier, which was played between the teams of Hong Kong and Mongolia.

Hong Kong bowler created history

Hong Kong's fast bowler Ayush Shukla has become the third bowler in the world to bowl 4 maiden overs in T20 International.
