This astonishing milestone occurred during the <strong>third men\u2019s T20I between Bhutan and Myanmar<\/strong> held at Gelephu, with Yeshey dismantling the opposition\u2019s batting lineup with exceptional control and precision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yeshey, aged 22, finished with remarkable bowling figures of <strong>8 wickets for just 7 runs in his allotted four overs<\/strong>, marking a world record that surpasses all previous best figures in both men\u2019s and women\u2019s T20 cricket globally. Before this, no bowler in any T20 International \u2014 male or female \u2014 had ever claimed more than seven wickets in a single match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bhutan had set a target of 127 runs for the loss of nine wickets batting first. In reply, Myanmar\u2019s batting unit collapsed under intense pressure as Yeshey wreaked havoc, helping bowl them out for just 45 \u2014 a comprehensive <strong>82\u2011run victory for Bhutan<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Game%E2%80%91Changing_Performance_on_the_International_Stage\"><\/span><strong>A Game\u2011Changing Performance on the International Stage<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yeshey\u2019s spell was historic not just for the <strong>record figures<\/strong>, but also for its significance in raising the profile of associate cricket nations like Bhutan on the global stage. While traditional cricket powerhouses dominate headlines, performances like this highlight the deepening talent pool across emerging teams. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icc-cricket.com\/news\/bhutan-s-soman-yeshey-sets-new-t20i-bowling-record\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">icc<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bowler\u2019s performance also <strong>surpassed Malaysia\u2019s Syazrul Idrus<\/strong>, who previously held the men\u2019s best T20I figures with 7 wickets for 8 runs against China in 2023. Additionally, Indonesia\u2019s Rohmalia had the best figures in women\u2019s T20Is with 7 for 0. Yeshey\u2019s achievement thus set a <strong>new benchmark for bowling excellence<\/strong> in T20 cricket history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div
