Team India started the year off well with a thrilling two-run victory over Sri Lanka in the first Twenty20 International on Tuesday in Mumbai. The team was led by Hardik Pandya. Shivam Mavi, who made his India debut in the match, was the star of the show. In his four overs, he took four wickets and only gave up 22 runs.

As he picked a wicket in each of his first two overs, Mavi's efforts saw India put Sri Lanka on the back foot right from the start of the 163-run chase. In addition, Mavi provided India with a crucial breakthrough in the form of Wanindu Hasaranga, who, along with Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka, were putting together a rescue plan for the visitors. Mavi was equally impressive in his return spell. In his final blow, Mavi then eliminated Maheesh Theekshana.

Mavi received a lot of support from his peers, especially Umran Malik, whose ferocious pace once more stunned the fans. In his four overs, the sensational pacer took two wickets and gave up 27 runs. Umran clocked 155 kph on the speed gun during his spell, making it the match's fastest ball.

India was able to get rid of the dangerous Shanaka thanks to Umran's thunderbolt, who was caught by Yuzvendra Chahal at extra cover for 45 off 27 balls. The video is here:

Umran's incredible feat saw him eclipse Jasprit Bumrah's record for clocking the highest speed among Indian pacers. Bumrah's highest speed to be recorded so far stands at 153.36 kph. The pacer, who was included for the Sri Lanka ODIs on Tuesday, is followed by Mohammed Shami (153.3 kph), Navdeep Saini (152.85 kph).
