NEW ZEALAND, Feb 2(Agencies): Jasprit Bumrah found his line and length back after two below-average outings with the ball against New Zealand in the recently concluded Twenty20 International series on Sunday.
Jasprit Bumrah became the first bowler in T20I cricket to bowl seven maiden overs, going past Sri Lanka's Nuwan Kulasekara who had bowled six overs without conceding a run during his 58-match long career. Jasprit Bumrah broke the world record in his impressive spell of three for 12 from four overs at the Bay Oval as India completed a historic whitewash over New Zealand, becoming the first team to register a series sweep in a bilateral five-match T20I series.
For his impressive outing with the ball, Jasprit Bumrah was adjudged the player of the match.
