Pakistan's Mohammad Irfan bowls 23 dot balls in four-over spell during CPL T20 match

Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Irfan scripted history when he bowled an extraordinary spell of four overs, consisting of 23 dot balls, during a T20 match in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) on Saturday.

In a format like T20 where batsman has the upper hand on the game, the Pakistan's tall man changed the whole script for the game.

Irfan only conceded a single run in his four overs and that too came on the last ball of his final over. The left-arm pacer represents Barbados Tridents in the CPL and he hit the deck hard against the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, bowling some unplayable deliveries to their batsmen. In his four overs, Irfan picked up two crucial wickets of West Indies power hitter Chris Gayle and Evin Lewis.

However, Irfan heroics went in vain as Barbados lost the match by six wickets as the Patriots kept their calm and chased down the target of 148 runs, with seven balls to spare.

After his extraordinary performance, the giant guy from Pakistan said in the post-match presentation, “I’m really happy. I would've been happier if the team won, but I am happy that I bowled one of the best spells in T20 cricket."

"I liked bowling on the lively wicket, and I get extra bounce because of my height. So yes, a satisfying performance."
