A rare record in T20s.. Bhutanese spinner who took 8 wickets
Bhutanese spin bowler Sonam Yeshey has created history. He has created a record by becoming the bowler to take 8 wickets in a T20 International match. The left-arm spinner achieved the rare record in a match against Myanmar in Gelapu City, Bhutan. It seems that this match was played on December 26. The 22-year-old bowler took eight wickets for seven runs.
Batting first, Bhutan scored 127 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in the stipulated overs. However, while chasing the target, the Myanmar team was all out for only 45 runs. Bhutan Cricket posted this on its social media account X. The post stated that Sonam Yeshe has set an extraordinary record, taking 8 wickets for 7 runs, which is a world record and a very rare event.
Till now, no bowler has taken 8 wickets in international T20 cricket or any other tournament. Previously, Malaysian pace bowler Sajrul Idras took 7 wickets for 8 runs. He achieved that feat in a match against China in 2023.
