Read on the application

Most Ducks in T20I Cricket: Ireland captain and opener Paul Sterling’s bat was completely quiet in the second T20 International against India on Sunday. Despite playing four balls, he could not even open his account. He trapped the famous fast bowler Krishna in his trap. Sterling looked to play the shot on the third ball of the third over but was caught by Arshdeep Singh. Krishna hunted Lorcan Tucker (0) on the last ball of the same over. Sterling has a very embarrassing world record. He has become the biggest ‘Shoonveer’.

In fact, Sterling has become the most dismissed player in the history of T20 international cricket. He has been dismissed 13 times for zero so far. Sterling has surpassed compatriot Kevin O’Brien to return to the pavilion 12 times in his career. He is followed by Zimbabwe’s Regis Chakabwa (11), Bangladesh’s Soumya Sarkar (11). Indian captain Rohit Sharma is joint fifth in this list. Rohit, former Sri Lankan cricketer Tillakaratne Dilshan, Sri Lankan all-rounder Dasun Shanaka and Pakistan’s Umran Akmal have 10 wickets each.

Coming to the second T20 match between India and Ireland, the Bumrah brigade hoisted the flag of victory by 33 runs. India posted a mammoth score of 185/5 and hosts Ireland scored 152 for the loss of 8 wickets in the allotted 20 overs. Andrew Balbirnie (72) scored the most runs. Rituraj Gaikwad (58) played a half century innings from India. Rinku played an innings of 38 runs in 21 balls. Rinku was declared player of the match. India have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. India won the rain-affected first match by 2 runs. The third and last T20 match will be played on Wednesday.
