In an incredible bowling display in Meerut Mavericks vs Lucknow Falcons Qualifier 2 of UP T20 League, experienced pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar showed he still has lots of swing and talent in him. His new ball masterclass was a reflection of his longevity, as he bowled a spell that left the opposing team's top order in disarray. Bhuvneshwar served up an incredible first over after being promoted to bowl at the Ekana Stadium, coming up with an unbelievable double wicket maiden that put his team in the perfect frame of mind. From the outset, he demonstrated his control on swing bowling, skillfully swinging the ball both into and away from the batsmen in a manner which left them totally confused. The over started with Akshay Dubey on strike, but he could do nothing but see as Bhuvneshwar cut the ball in to bring an outside edge, which was cleverly caught by Aaradhya Yadav, and a wicket was taken without any runs given. Then came Rituraj Sharma, who was clean bowled by Bhuvneshwar's inswinger that cunningly found the gap between bat and pad, with no inkling for him and out for a duck. With measured accuracy and deceptively swinging the ball, Bhuvneshwar not only did not allow any scoring but also inflicted a massive setback to the opponents with two successive wickets, leaving the Meerut Mavericks dazed at 0 for 2 after just their first over.

Even though the Mavericks had a nervous beginning, losing early wickets at a cheap price, Divyansh Rajput turned out to be the savior, holding the innings with a vital contribution that saw a fighting score on the board. His measured response and determined consolidation kept Mavericks afloat and gaining momentum. Reactions were scarce as Lucknow Falcons could not get into a rhythm against serious bowling and stingy fielding. The pursuit turned into a fierce encounter, with the Falcons failing to get the runs they needed, demonstrating how the Mavericks' determination and crucial contributions were enough to win them the match despite Bhuvneshwar's initial brilliance.
