Career

Akash Madhwal IPL 2023Akash’s cricketing journey began on the dusty fields of Uttarakhand, where he sharpened his skills bowling yorkers with tennis balls. His exceptional control and technique didn't go unnoticed.

With the Uttarakhand Cricket Association affiliating with the BCCI in 2018, opportunities opened up for Akash. He was 24 when he entered the competitive cricket scene, catching the eye of former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer and Manish Jha, who advised him to switch to the red ball.

Domestic Career

Madhwal made his domestic debut in the 2019-20 season across all formats. His first notable appearance came in the Twenty20 format for Uttarakhand in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy on November 8, 2019. He then made his first-class debut in the Ranji Trophy on December 25, 2019, and his List A debut in the Vijay Hazare Trophy season 2020–21 on February 21, 2021.

His performance on the domestic circuit was impressive, leading to his appointment as the captain of the Uttarakhand T20 team ahead of the 2023 domestic season. This significant achievement highlights his leadership skills and his importance to the team.

IPL

Akash Madhwal has made a significant mark in the Indian Premier League (IPL), winning hearts with his exceptional bowling skills. Though Akash is a civil engineer by qualification, his true calling was cricket. Born in 1993, Akash came to the limelight when he joined the Mumbai Indians as a net bowler.

Early Steps in IPL

Before Madhwal played in IPL matches, he was working hard behind the scenes. In 2021, he started as a net bowler for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru team. The next year, in 2022, he continued as a net bowler, this time for Mumbai Indians.

That same year, an opening in the squad due to an injury to a key player allowed Akash to be included in the team for the whole season, although he did not get a chance to play in any of the matches.

Breakthrough in the 2023 IPL Season

Madhwal made his IPL debut in 2023 for Mumbai Indians. His debut was a tough one. He gave away 37 runs in 3 overs and did not take any wickets in a match against Punjab Kings. However, he showed his ability to bowl well at the end of the innings, which is a crucial skill in T20 cricket.

Rising to the Occasion

Akash's moment to shine came when he got the chance to bowl in important parts of the games. He replaced Arjun Tendulkar, and from then on, he became a go-to bowler for Mumbai Indians.

Akash's talent for bowling the yorker, a very difficult delivery in cricket, was noted. He was soon relied on to bowl in tough situations, like the start and end of the innings when batting teams try to score quickly.

He showed his worth in a crucial game against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The opposing team had scored a big total, but Madhwal took 4 wickets while giving away 37 runs. His effort was vital in helping his team, Mumbai Indians, enter the playoffs of the IPL.

Record-Breaking Performance

Akash's best moment in the IPL came during a playoff match against the Lucknow Super Giants on May 24, 2023. He took 5 wickets and gave away just 5 runs. This performance is one of the best in IPL history, especially for a player who has yet to play international cricket for India.

Because of this, he was named the player of the match. His 5-wicket haul tied the record for the most economical in IPL, matching the legendary Anil Kumble.
