IND Vs ENG, 4th T20I: England pacer Saqib Mahmood has rattled India in the 4th T20I at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, as the right-arm pacer creates history with an iconic triple-wicket maiden over.

The 2nd over of the innings saw the 27-year-old dismiss Sanju Samson, Tilak Varma, and Suryakumar Yadav, as the world-class trio failed miserably in front of the home crowd, and the fans in Pune are left stunned and silenced. 

Saqib Mahmood now becomes the first-ever bowler to record a triple-wicket maiden over against India in the T20I's, and what's more amazing is the fact that the English pacer is making a comeback from an injury and bowled his first-ever over of the series.

Mode Of Dismissals

Saqib Mahmood scalped Sanju Samson with the first ball of his series, as the out-of-form Indian wicket-keeper batsman lofted the ball towards the square-leg region for an easy catch for Brydon Carse.

The dismissal was followed by a shocking removal of Tilak Varma, as the in-form rising star's poor shot selection giftedEngland yet another wicket, and India suffered early jitters in their 1st innings.

Up came Suryakumar Yada, India's Modern-Era great in T20I's, as the number 1 ranked batsman in the world was daunted with an uphill task of recovering India's innings amid his 'rare' poor form. After surviving the first three balls, Suryakumar Yadav finally gave in to the highly attacking field set by England captain Jos Buttler, as he handed a simple catch at short mid-on to Brydon Carse.

Tilak Varma's golden duck, and the Indian skipper's 4-ball duck propelled England to gain upper hand in the powerplay, as India were dealt an early blow by the 'excellent' Saqib Mahmood, who's first introduction will forever be remebered by the fans in attendance, and viewers around the world.
