His standout performance came against Bangladesh in Dubai, where he conjured bowling figures of 4/29, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. This astounding feat now positions him at the pinnacle of Indian bowlers in the Asia Cup, a position once held by the cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar, who claimed 17 wickets during his illustrious career in the tournament.
In contrast, Irfan Pathan, the former Indian pacer, was celebrated for his artful swing and knack for picking up crucial wickets.
