Shivam Mavi Takes 4 Wickets In Debut Match:
24-year-old fast bowler Shivam Mavi rocked in the debut match. He gave just 22 runs in 4 overs and took 4 wickets. Before him, two Indian players performed like this. Shivam Mavi finished at number three. With this, Mavi has joined the elite club of former pacer Barinder Sran and former spinner Pragyan Ojha.
Shivam Mavi, who has been waiting for his debut for 6 years, rocked his debut match. Mavi got a chance to debut in international cricket through the first T20 match of the 3-match series against Sri Lanka (IND vs SL). He capitalized on this opportunity. Shivam Mavi played an important role in India’s thrilling victory. After the victory, this young fast bowler said that at one time he started feeling that he would never be able to play for Team India.
Shivam Mavi took a total of 4 wickets in his spell of 4 overs, spending 22 runs. Sri Lankan opener Pathum Nissanka was bowled and returned to the pavilion on his dangerous inswinger ball. Shivam Mavi said that today his dream has come true. After waiting for 6 years, there was a time when I was feeling that my dream of playing in the Indian team will be a dream only.
Shivam Mavi became a part of India’s Under-19 World Cup team in the year 2018. He made a splash against New Zealand with his fast pace. After that, he got an IPL contract. Mavi made his IPL debut for Kolkata Knight Riders, although he was injured most of the time. Now Mavi is fully fit and is ready to take wickets for Team India in the coming times.
According to Shivam Mavi, he has worked hard for 6 years. He has also played in the IPL. My focus in this match was to take wickets in the powerplay. Bowling Pathum Nissanka was my favorite wicket. Shivam has recently been added to the IPL auction 2023 by Gujarat Titans for Rs 6 crore. Shivam has been the most expensive among the uncapped players.
Entry in Pragyan Ojha’s club:
Shivam Mavi is the third Indian bowler to take 4 wickets in his debut T20. Earlier in the year 2016, Barinder Sran took 4 for 10 against Zimbabwe in Harare while in 2009, spinner Pragyan Ojha took 4 for 21 against Bangladesh.
