Anonymous bowler holds the record for bowling most number of maiden overs in T20I, 2 Indian pacers also included in top-5


New Delhi. Although cricket itself is considered a 'batsman's game', but in the T20 format, the dominance of the batsmen is so much that the bowlers are seen struggling badly. Bowling an over maiden in T20 format is a big achievement for any bowler. So far only five bowlers have been able to bowl more than 10 maiden overs in T20 International cricket, two Indians are included in this. The interesting thing is that the record of bowling the most number of maiden overs (15) in T20I is in the name of a bowler whose name would not be familiar to most of the cricket lovers. There is a valid reason for this also. This record is in the name of Frank Nsubuga of Uganda, an associate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC).
