Arshdeep Singh's big feat, equaled the Australian bowler

IND vs BAN: After the two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh ended, now a three-match T20 series is being played. The first match of this series is being played at the New Sawai Madhavrao Scindia Stadium in Gwalior. The Indian team decided to bowl after winning the toss, which the bowlers proved right by allowing Bangladesh to score only 39 runs in the first 6 overs and taking 2 wickets. The most important role in this excellent start was played by left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh, who dismissed both the opening batsmen of Bangladesh in the powerplay and sent them to the pavilion.
