South Africa was successful in winning this match by 51 runs. After winning the toss, the Indian team, which came on the field to bowl first, performed disappointingly. At the same time, in the second match, an unwanted record has been registered in the name of Team India’s young fast bowler Arshdeep Singh, which no bowler in the world would want to break. Here we will tell you about that unwanted record which Arshdeep has made in his name.
Arshdeep Singh made an unwanted record
In the second match against South Africa, Arshdeep Singh bowled 13 balls in one over. With this, Arshdeep equaled the unwanted record of Afghanistan fast bowler Naveen Ul Haq in terms of bowling the most number of balls in an over during a T20 International (Full Members) match.
In this match, Arshdeep, who came to bowl the 11th over in the first innings, bowled a total of 13 balls, in which 18 runs were scored.

At the same time, in the year 2021, against Pakistan in Johannesburg, South African bowler Sisanda Megala had bowled a total of 12 balls in one over.
