LSG Destroyed as MI Pacer Achieves Legendary Milestone with 5/5 - Akash Madhwal

Akash Madhwal, a little-known bowler for Mumbai Indians, took five wickets and helped his team beat Lucknow Super Giants by 81 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) eliminator. Madhwal’s dream spell led Mumbai Indians one step closer to the summit clash, and he equalled Anil Kumble’s record for the most economical five-for in IPL history. Madhwal is an engineer from Uttarakhand, and he said he had been waiting for his opportunity to play since 2018. Mumbai Indians will play Gujarat Titans on Friday in the second Qualifier, and the winner will face Chennai Super Kings in the final on Sunday.

During the game, Mumbai Indians scored 182/8 while LSG fell to Madhwal’s incredible figures of 3.3-0-5-5. Skipper Rohit Sharma also contributed to the win with terrific ground fielding. LSG crumbled for a paltry 101 in 16.3 overs. Madhwal picked the wickets of Prerak Mankad, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Ravi Bishnoi, and Mohsin Khan. After the game, Madhwal said he had been practicing a lot to prepare for his opportunity. He added that the wicket of Nicholas Pooran was most pleasing for him.

Former and current players praised Madhwal for his match-winning feat.
