Gurnoor Brar’s poor bowling performance led him to unwanted record

The day didn’t go well for the Indian team as the bowlers failed to show their magic. Especially, the young Indian star, who recently made his debut for the Indian team, Gurnoor Brar, didn’t get a chance to present his best or display his skills in the match.

If we discuss his performance in the match, Gurnoor Brar bowled all his 10 overs and conceded 97 runs without any wickets. This poor performance led him to a shameful record as he became the third Indian bowler to deliver the most expensive figures in an ODI match.

The first bowler on the list is Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who was smashed by the South Africa team in 2015. Bhuvneshwar bowled his 10 overs and conceded 106 runs, which is the most by an Indian bowler. The second bowler on the list is Vinay Kumar, who smashed by the Australian team as he conceded 102 runs in 2013.
