Who is Akash Madhwal?
The Mumbai Indians bowling team was considered one of the weakest in IPL 2023, especially in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah and Jofra Archer, but not anymore. Newcomer Akash Madhwal caught the eye in the Eliminator match of IPL 2023, taking a record five-wicket haul (5-5) and dismissing the Lucknow Super Giants’ top and middle order.
The most surprising thing is that Madhwal achieved this marvelous feat in a high-pressure Eliminator game, and he only started playing red-ball cricket four years ago. His impeccable and distinctive fast bowling skills earned him a place in the Mumbai Indians squad for IPL 2023. And Madhwal more than proved his worth.
Akash Madhwal 5 wickets in the tie after the 4 he took in the last league match which was a do or die game. It’s a pleasure to see newcomers doing well. This is the season where many of the experienced guys have had a great season and many newcomers have left a big mark… pic.twitter.com/ofZI0yk8af
