8 wickets — Sonam Yeshey sets T20I record with 8/7 against Myanmar
Sonam Yeshey claimed the first eight-wicket haul in T20I history with figures of 8/7.
Bhutan's Sonam Yeshey took 8/7 in four overs against Myanmar — the first eight-wicket haul in T20I history. The 22-year-old left-arm spinner bowled Myanmar out for 45, and the ICC confirmed the record on Wednesday.
Yeshey's figures are now the best individual bowling return in the format. He's already claimed 13 wickets in this series alone, and with matches still to come, he'll have a chance to add to that tally. For Bhutan, a team that rarely features in international headlines, this is the kind of performance that changes how people think about what associate nations can do when conditions — and a spinner of genuine skill — align.

The bigger question: does a T20I record like this shift how scouts and franchises view Bhutan's talent pool, or does it stay a one-off footnote because the opposition was outmatched?
