IND vs SL 2023: The four-wicket haul Shivam Mavi had during the T20I match against Sri Lanka marked the pacer’s introduction to the globe. The Hardik Pandya-led squad squared off against the Islanders in the first of the three T20I matches at Mumbai’s legendary Wankhede Stadium, and thanks to a thrilling final ball, they won the match and the series 1-0.
Mavi, who participated in the match for the first time as a member of the national team, finished with outstanding bowling statistics, taking four wickets and allowing just 22 runs in his allotted four overs. Mavi shared his sentiments about making his international debut after the game, calling it “a dream come true.”
“For me, it was like a dream come true. Being given a shot in the first game of my maiden tour is significant. Players rarely take the chance so immediately, but it did with me. After the U-19 World Cup, I waited for six years and was wounded, but I never lost faith in myself and continued to put in the effort, Mavi was reported by News 18 as saying.
To attack in the powerplay is my strategy: Shivam Mavi
The pacer, who was born in Uttar Pradesh, was well-known in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and on the domestic circuit but was frequently sidelined by injury. Young Mavi had to wait over six years for his call-up to don the Men in Blue uniform as a result. He said that he had a plan in place for how to approach the game, which may have contributed to the pacer’s enjoyment of excellent stats during his innings.
“I sustained injuries while playing in the IPL and domestic matches after the U-19 World Cup. But I was certain that I needed to increase my level of fitness. While I was performing, I was also getting hurt. I put in a lot of effort, and it paid off,” I told Mavi.
“I’ve participated in IPL matches at this venue. I, therefore, intend to attack the powerplay. It doesn’t matter whether I get hit for boundaries. I continue to search for wickets,” Mavi said.
