The arrival

That first season brought 7 matches, 13 runs and 9 wickets at 10.47 an over. It would stay the best season of the career with the ball.

27.4% of the balls Vijaykumar Vyshak bowled were dots, a lower share than 97% of the 150 bowlers with 500 balls or more; a wicket came every 20 balls.
