Delhi made history by becoming the first team in T20 cricket to use all 11 players as bowlers in an innings.
Playing against Manipur at the Wankhede Stadium in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Delhi restricted its opponent to 120/8 in 20 overs.
This remarkable feat surpasses the previous record of a team using a maximum of nine bowlers in an innings.
It also reflects a rare occurrence in Test cricket, most notably when India, under Sourav Ganguly’s captaincy, had all 11 players bowl in a match against the West Indies in 2002.
