1 Over, 3 Wickets, 0 Runs: Saqib Mahmood Forces India To Suffer Historic Low In 4th T20I

Saqib Mahmood - that is one name which the Indian T20I cricket team is going to remember for a long time. The England pacer sent shockwaves in India camp with a terrific over that saw three stars Sanju Samson (1), Tilak Varma (0) and Suryakumar Yadav (0) fall in a space of six balls. In doing so, Mahmood became the first England player to bowl a triple-wicket maiden. He is also the first bowler in the world to achieve the feat against India in T20Is. Mahmood took the three wickets in the second over - the joint-earliest to take a triple wicket maiden in T20Is along with Jerome Taylor (vs SA in Gqeberha, 2007).
