Spell
Young Indian seamer Shivam Mavi delivered a terrific spell on his international debut on Tuesday. He decimated Sri Lanka's top order in the 1st T20I at the Wankhede Stadium.
Four-ferĀ
Mavi got rid of Pathum Nissanka and Dhananjaya de Silva in the Powerplay as Sri Lanka attempted to chase down 163. He later dismissed Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana to claim a four-wicket haul.
Record
Mavi finished with figures worth 4/22 in the 1st T20I. He has become the third Indian man with a four-fer on T20I debut after former spinner Pragyan Ojha and pacer Barinder Sran.
Journey
Mavi has had a joyful ride in the last few months. He was bought by the defending IPL champions Gujarat Titans for Rs. 6 crore at the mini-auction. Four days later, he earned his maiden call-up to India's T20I squad for the three-match home series against Sri Lanka.
