Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir broke India’s Bhuveshnar Kumar’s record by bowling 25 first overs in T20I cricket. Amir, 32, secured the third spot on this list while playing for the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons in the ongoing Caribbean T20 League. However, West Indies bowler Sunil Narine leads the way with 30 in the first over, followed by Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan in second place with 26. The 32-year-old is third with 25 first matches, Kumar is fourth with 24. Meanwhile, the left-arm fast-medium bowler has produced maximums for his team in the domestic T20 format, picking up 347 wickets in 302 matches. Additionally, the star cricketer has taken five wickets in seven matches of the ongoing 2024 Caribbean Premier League. It is worth noting that Amir played an impressive role for the green shirts in Champions Trophy 2017 where he claimed the wickets of top Indian batsmen including Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan. This performance helped Pakistan clinch the title by 180 runs against India. The Antigua and Barbuda Falcons are ready to make their mark against the St Lucia Kings on Monday after facing defeat against the Barbados Royals on Thursday, September 12. Amir’s team recorded just one win by six runs in the tournament against Trinbago Knight Riders on Friday, September 6.
