Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar made a record for most wickets in the powerplay. Kumar is a fast bowler who recently showed a good performance in India vs Ireland T20I tour. Ireland dismissed the twenty-over format and opted for much smaller twelve overs due to rain delaying the match. Both bowlers and batsmen suffered due to the shorter duration of the game.
