India’s pace sensation Shivam Mavi, known for his lethal yorkers and swing, turned into a batting beast in the UP T20 League, delivering a stunning all-round performance for Kashi Rudras.
Coming in at number 8, with his team struggling at 89/7, Mavi unleashed mayhem on the Gorakhpur Lions’ bowling attack. He hammered a 19-ball fifty and ended his explosive knock with 54 runs off just 21 balls at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 257.14. His innings featured six towering sixes, accounting for 36 of his runs in just maximums.
Thanks to Mavi’s counter-attacking blitz, Kashi Rudras posted a competitive total of 176/8 in 20 overs, rescuing the innings from a near-collapse. Alongside the 9th batter, the lower order added 87 runs in just 37 balls, turning the game on its head.
This explosive display not only stunned fans but also propelled Kashi Rudras to the top of the points table, making them the team to beat in this edition of the Uttar Pradesh T20 League.
Shivam Mavi’s power-hitting might just have opened new doors—not just as a bowler, but now as a serious finisher in the shortest format.
