The first match in the Asia Cup 2025 was played between Hong Kong and Afghanistan, in which the Afghan team registered a big win of 94 runs. The same Hong Kong has rescued the sweat of the Bangladesh team. Hong Kong may not be the top team in the world, but his 22 -year -old fast bowler Ayush Shukla has made a lot of recognition in world cricket. Ayush is the same bowler who has a record of throwing 4 maiden overs in T20 matches.

Ayush Shukla took revenge

Hong Kong’s team scored a score of 143 runs while batting first. While bowling, Bangladesh fast bowler Tanjim Hasan Saqib celebrated after taking the wicket. The Bangladesh team has been known for celebration in aggressive style earlier, but Ayush Shukla took this revenge for Hong Kong.

Chasing the target of 144 runs, the Bangladesh team got a good start, Parvez Hussain Imon was set by 19 runs. But then in the third over, Ayush Shukla got him caught by Babur Hayat. Ayush gave a sand-off shouting to Parvez Hussain.

Ayush has thrown 4 maiden overs in T20 match

So far, there are only 3 bowlers in T20 cricket history, who have done all 4 overs of spell. Ayush Shukla achieved the achievement of 4 maiden over in a single T20 match against Mongolia in the year 2024. He took 2 wickets in that match without any runs in 4 overs. Apart from them, Locky Furganus and Saad bin Zafar have done the feat of throwing 4 maiden overs in the same T20 match.
