By IANS News February 09, 2026 • 09:07 AM View: 406

Young pacer Sher Malla etched his name into cricketing history by becoming only the second Nepal bowler to claim a wicket off the very first delivery of his T20 career during Nepal’s ICC T20 World Cup 2026 clash against England at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.

Malla achieved the feat after extracting an edge out of England opener Phil Salt, who was returning to the side after injury, in the first ball of the second over.
