Most maiden overs in T20 cricket: T20 cricket leagues are being played all over the world in which one bowler after another is showing off his bowling skills. One of these is the Caribbean Premier League i.e. CPL in which a Pakistani fast bowler has created a new record in just 2.3 overs. This bowler is none other than Pakistan’s famous fast bowler Mohammad Aamir. Actually, the 13th match of CPL 2024 was played between Barbados Royals and Antigua and Barbuda Falcons in Barbados. Playing for Barbuda Falcons in this match, Mohammad Aamir wreaked such havoc with the ball in just 2.3 overs that the big record of the Indian fast bowler was broken. Aamir bowled only 15 balls and created a new record without taking any wicket.
Aamir left Bhuvi behind
The Pakistani fast bowler conceded just 11 runs in 2.3 overs. During this, his over was maiden which is very rarely seen in T20 cricket. Due to this maiden over, Mohammad Aamir left behind Indian fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Actually, Mohammad Aamir has now become the first fast bowler in the world to bowl the most maiden overs in T20 cricket. He has achieved this big milestone by defeating Bhuvi. Mohammad Aamir participates in T20 cricket all over the world and this is the reason why he has been successful in breaking this big record of Bhuvi. On the other hand, Bhuvi plays domestic cricket and IPL where it is very difficult to bowl a maiden over.

Mohammad Aamir now has the record of bowling 26 maiden overs in T20 cricket. Bhuvi has bowled 25 maiden overs. However, there is a huge difference between the innings of both the bowlers. Aamir has achieved this feat in 302 innings while Bhuvi has 24 maiden overs in 286 innings. Aamir has now reached the third position in terms of bowling the most maiden overs in T20 cricket.
