The 22-year-old left-arm spinner shredded Myanmar’s top order, claiming astonishing figures of 8/7 from just four overs – a historic first eight-for in T20s. Myanmar collapsed to 45 all out chasing Bhutan’s 127, dismantled by Yeshey’s magic. Bhutan swept the series 5-0, the prodigy bagging 13 wickets in total.
