India all-rounder Stuart Binny created an One-Day International (ODI) world record when he picked up 6 wickets conceding only 4 runs against Bangladesh in the second of the three-match series at Mirpur, Dhaka in 2014. Thus, Binny’s 6 for 4 from 4.4 overs became the best bowling figures by a bowler when he has captured more wickets than the runs conceded in ODIs.
