New Delhi. The pair of brothers playing for the same team in the T20 World Cup 2024 are in the news for different reasons. While the younger brother is facing criticism due to his/her poor performance, the elder brother is getting applause for his/her brilliant performance. Here we are talking about Roger Mukasa and Frank Subuga of the Ugandan team. The Ugandan team is playing in the T20 World Cup for the first time. It has won one of its three matches. During this time, while elder brother Frank has made a mark with his/her performance, this tournament has been a ‘flop show’ so far for younger brother Roger.
Uganda has suffered a crushing defeat against Afghanistan and West Indies during its campaign while the team has defeated Papua New Guinea. The team’s main batsman Roger Mukasa would like to forget his/her performance in this tournament. he/she has been able to play only 6 balls in three matches so far and has made a ‘hat-trick’ of zeros.

Younger brother Mukasa could play a total of 6 balls in three innings, LBW every time
Mukasa (Roger Mukasa) sometimes opens the innings for Uganda and sometimes comes at number three. In the first match against Afghanistan, he/she scored a ‘golden duck’. he/she became the victim of Fazalhaq Farooqui on his/her very first ball. In the match against Papua New Guinea, he/she could play only three balls while opening and in the third match against West Indies, he/she could play only two balls. his/her account was not opened in both these innings as well. The interesting thing is that he/she was LBW in all three innings. Uganda has to play its last group match against New Zealand on June 14. Due to poor performance, Mukasa is unlikely to get a place in the playing XI in this match.

Most number of times out on 0 in the current World Cup
In the T20 World Cup 2024, Musaka is currently the batsman who has been out on 0 the most number of times. Apart from him/her, no one else has scored a ‘duck’ three times in this tournament. In the current T20 World Cup, 35-year-old Mukasa’s bat may have turned against him/her, but his/her T20I records are impressive. In 58 T20 matches, this right-handed batsman has scored 1186 runs at an average of 23.25 and a strike rate of 120.77, which includes five half-centuries. During this, he/she has hit 133 fours and 36 sixes. he/she has also scored 738 runs in a calendar year (2023).
The most economical bowling of the tournament was done by elder brother Subuga
Amidst this poor performance of Mukasa, his/her elder brother Frank Subuga is getting praise for his/her performance. 43-year-old offbreak bowler Subuga has the most economical bowling analysis of an innings in the T20 World Cup 2024. In the match against Papua New Guinea, he/she took two wickets for 4 runs (economy 1.00) while keeping two maidens in 4 overs. Not only this, Subuga is the only bowler to bowl two maiden overs in the current tournament. Subuga was not part of the playing XI in the match against Afghanistan. he/she played an important role in the team’s 3-wicket win in the match against Papua New Guinea, while he/she did not get any wicket despite giving 29 runs in the match against West Indies.

Subuga has bowled 17 maidens in T20 International
Subuga is the most economical bowler in T20 International. In his/her career of 56 T20Is, he/she has bowled 17 maiden overs so far. No other bowler is even close to him/her. Since Uganda is an associate member of ICC, his/her performance often does not get much discussion. In terms of bowling maidens in T20I, Kenyan spinner Shem Ngoche is in second place who has bowled 12 maiden overs. India’s Jasprit Bumrah (11 maidens) is third in this list and India’s Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Germany’s Ghulam Ahmed (10-1 maiden) are jointly at fourth place.
Economy is 4.79 in T20I: Subuga is the most ‘miserly’ bowler in T20 International. In T20I, a bowler with an economy of 6 (average runs given per over) is generally considered good, but Subuga’s economy is 4.79, that is, in international matches of this format, he/she has given an average of only 4.79 runs in every over, which is really a big achievement.
