New York,UPDATED: Jun 12, 2024 22:24 IST
USA all-rounder Saurabh Netravalkar dismissed both India big guns Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in his first spell against India in the T20 World Cup. The left-arm seamer left both senior India batters bamboozled in the first three overs of the match. Netravalkar became the first-ever bowler to dismiss Virat Kohli on a golden duck in any ICC events. Kohli fell in the very first over, edging a ball straight to the wicketkeeper.
Netravalkar did not drop the ball after that and troubled Rishabh Pant with his inswingers. The engineer-cricketer took out another senior India batter after that, when he produced a false shot out of India captain Rohit Sharma in the third over of the game. Netravalkar's spell left India reeling at 10/2 after 2.2 overs in the second innings.
USA pacer Saurabh Netravalkar, in an exclusive interaction with India Today before the India match, had said that he was looking forward to the challenge of bowling at Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli during the match against India.
