MI Sensational Pacer Akash Madhwal Barred from Local Tournaments, Brother Points to 'Dar Ka Mahoul'

In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 Eliminator, Mumbai Indians discovered a new gem in pacer Akash Madhwal, who took five wickets for the squad and was instrumental in the club’s triumph over Lucknow Super Giants. Madhwal’s brother revealed some fascinating recollections from the seamer’s cricketing past as the cricketing community went crazy about the emergence of another fast bowling gem from Mumbai Indians. The MI bowler is really prohibited from playing cricket in his hometown because he has gotten too dangerous to play against, said Akash’s brother Ashish.

In an interview with India Today, Ashish gave MI captain Rohit Sharma credit for assisting Akash in making the next step.

“Rohit bhai has the advantage because he provides guys opportunities. He supports and has faith in his players. A new player is constantly concerned about how he will fit into the squad. And Rohit has eliminated that worry, and Akash is now fulfilling his promise,” Ashish remarked.

“People would visit him daily while he was working after finishing his engineering degree and tell him not to go to work today; instead, join our team and we’ll pay you. After his struggles in Uttarakhand, he moved on to the leather ball from there, according to one of Akash’s local buddies during the conversation.

Akash Madhwal, who mostly played tennis ball cricket, has advanced to a level above his ability. As a result of others being terrified to play against him, he was banned from local events.

No one allowed him to play here. His bowling caused a lot of people to worry. He was thus barred from participating in neighbourhood competitions. Dar ka mahoul tha (fear pervaded the area). Akash used to play outside of Roorkee, according to Ashish.

But for now, Ashish is overjoyed to see his brother become more well-known across the nation.
