In a mind boggling feat during a T20 game between two cricket academies in Rajasthan, a 15-year-old bowler grabbed 10 wickets all by himself. That’s right but what makes the achievement even more unbelievable is the fact that he conceded no runs.

This is no writing error as Akash Choudhary, a left-arm seamer, bagged 10 wickets, giving away no runs while playing for Disha Cricket Academy against Pearl Academy in Jaipur. Cricket statistician Mohandas Menon also tweeted about Choudhary. After the game, speaking to Sportskeeda, he said, “I cannot thank God enough for this. A five-wicket haul in a T20 is possible on a good day, but a 10-wicket haul, without giving away a single run, is all luck.”

He further added, “I took two wickets in the first over, another two in the second over, another two in the third over and four wickets in my last over, which included a hat-trick off the last three balls. I am a huge fan of Zaheer Khan’s bowling and hope to make it as big as him one day.”
