Mayank Yadav has done it again. the pacer struck with the very first ball of Zimbabwe's innings, dismissing Brian Bennett for a golden duck in the 3rd T20I, repeating the feat he produced in the series opener. Bowling at 147kph, Mayank delivered a sharp short-of-a-length ball that nipped away off the surface and climbed awkwardly. Bennett, caught on the back foot while attempting to defend, could only edge the ball towards first slip, where Vaibhav Sooryavanshi showed brilliant reflexes to complete a sharp chest-high catch to his left. Mayank immediately leapt into the air and celebrated with a trademark roar after claiming yet another first-ball wicket. With the dismissal, Mayank Yadav equalled Bhuvneshwar Kumar's Indian record of taking a wicket with the first ball of a T20I innings three times. He also moved ahead of Hardik Pandya, who has achieved the feat twice. India bowlers with wickets off the first ball of a T20I innings Bhuvneshwar Kumar – 3 times

He went on to finish with impressive figures of 2/18. Three days later, he produced an identical start, once again removing Bennett off the opening ball to continue his dream comeback.
