Don’t Miss Out On The List Of The Most Maiden Over Bowled In the Test By Indian Player.
Maiden over means a batsman scores no runs in an over, and there should be no extra runs given, including wides and no balls. Maiden overs are like a treasure in international cricket because the strike rate is going rigorously upward because of the limited over format, so it has become tough to see maiden overs. Compared with the forms of cricket, it is easy to bowl a maiden over in Test format. Once the bowler finds his frequency and vibe, it will be difficult for the batsman to score runs.
