Mumbai Indians quick Akash Madhwal demolished Lucknow Super Giants with a fiery 5-wicket haul for a paltry 5 runs in the IPL 2023 Eliminator, equalling a record long held by the legendary Anil Kumble.
Madhwal took the wickets of Prerak Mankad, Ayush Badoni, Nicholas Pooran, Ravi Bishnoi and Mohsin Khan to snuff out the LSG chase and script an 81-run win for the Mumbai Indians.
In a tweet, Kumble praised and congratulated the 29-year-old fast bowler for turning up in a high-pressure game. “Welcome to the 5/5 club” wrote the former India captain and coach. Kumble achieved the feat against the Rajasthan Royals in the 2009 IPL season played in South Africa.
Uttarakhand-born Madhwal was brought in to fill in for the injured Suryakumar Yadav at MI during the IPL 2022 season. He was retained by the team at his base price of ₹20 lakh.
Madhwal was first spotted by former India opener Wasim Jaffer, when the latter coached the Uttarakhand team in 2019. He was then signed by Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2021, but only served as a net bowler and was unable to break into the team.
He then joined MI in 2022 and became the first player representing Uttarakhand to play in the IPL.
With injuries to Jofra Archer and Jasprit Bumrah hitting the Mumbai team hard, Madhwal stepped in and has impressed, picking up 13 wickets in the 7 games he has played.
