In a historic moment for T20 cricket, all 11 players of the Delhi team bowled during their Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024 match against Manipur. The match was held at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on Friday, November 29, and this unusual feat unfolded. Manipur batted first and was restricted to a total of 120 runs. In a rare strategy, Delhi ensured every player on the field bowled at least one over, marking a first in T20 cricket history. Currently, Delhi is batting and fighting to chase the 121-run target.
Tyagi and Digvesh led the bowling, Rawat’s were expensive
Big contributions came from Harsh Tyagi and Digvesh, who claimed two wickets each while keeping excellent economy rates. Ayush Singh, Ayush Badoni, and Priyansh Arya added one wicket each, showing sharp bowling skills. Mayank Rawat and Anuj Rawat were really expensive, but the team collectively restricted Manipur to a modest 120 runs.
