If to talk about Star of the Match, Madhwal, we can say that his performance was motivating as well, considering that there was a point when the bowler had not yet been signed by the RCB club and had just been a part of the team’s Net sessions in 2021. However, in 2022 the star bowler joined the Mumbai Indians as Suryakumar Yadav’s successor. Now, in the IPL 2023 season, the bowler came out on top for his side in the elimination game.
With 13 wickets in seven matches at an average of 12.85, an economy rate of 7.77, and a strike rate of 9.92 for MI in the IPL 2023, Madhwal has been outstanding.
Madhwal, who also plays for Uttarakhand in the local circuit, joined MI for the IPL 2022 season as Suryakumar Yadav’s substitute due to injury. At his base price of INR 20 lakh, he was kept on by the franchise for this season.
