Shivam Mavi made his debut for the team India in the first T20I match against Sri Lanka in Mumbai on Tuesday. Mavi’s impressive performance, which included a four-wicket haul, played a crucial role in India’s narrow two-run victory. India’s batsmen struggled against the Sri Lankan spinners and were only able to score 162 for five, with Deepak Hooda and Axar Patel scoring 41* and 31* respectively.

Sri Lanka appeared to have the firepower to chase down the total, but Mavi’s strikes at the beginning and end of their innings tilted the game in India’s favor. The match went down to the wire, with spinner Axar Patel managing to defend 13 runs in the final over to secure the win for India. Mavi ended the match with figures of 4-22 in four overs.
