Mohunlal Club bowler Masum bagged four wickets in four balls against Howrah Union in the NC Chatterjee trophy on Sunday. Masum, who gave his team the breakthrough by removing Md Shahnawaz (17), finished with one maiden and five wickets in his four over-spell where he conceded just 13 runs. Sri Lanka great Lasith Malinga was the first bowler in the history of the game to scalp four wickets in four deliveries against South Africa in the 2007 World Cup. Malinga repeated his feat once again in 2019 when he took 4 wickets off 4 consecutive balls twice against New Zealand. Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan also features in this elite list when he too picked four in four against Ireland in 2019.
