India's veteran swing bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar continues to display his skill and rack up the accolades, this time breaking the record for the most wickets taken in the powerplay overs in T20I cricket.

Kumar achieved this feat on Sunday in the first T20I match against Ireland where he dismissed the opposition captain Andrew Balbirnie with the fifth ball of the match. He now has 34 T20I powerplay wickets, 1 more than former West Indies leg-spinner Samuel Badree and New Zealand swing bowler Tim Southee.
