In T20 cricket, you must have often seen world records being made and broken in batting, bowling, and fielding, but in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, the Delhi team made a world record by making 11 players bowl. In this match against Manipur, the Delhi team made all 11 players bowl. This has been seen for the first time in T20 cricket history. Earlier, the maximum number of bowlers used in an innings of T20 was 9, but now Delhi has done something amazing.
Manipur won the toss and chose to bat first. The start was bad and opener Kangbam Priyajit Singh was dismissed for 0. After this, Delhi captain Ayush Badoni adopted a strategy that was really surprising. He made all the players of his team bowl. Apart from Ayush Singh, Akhil Chaudhary, Harsh Tyagi, Digvesh Rathi, and Mayank Rawat bowled. After this, Ayush Badoni left wicketkeeping and came to bowl himself. Apart from these, Aryan Rana, Himmat Singh, Priyansh Arya, Yash Dhul and Anuj Rawat also bowled.
