Akash Madhwal: Meet the man who 'engineered' LSG's exit from IPL 2023

NEW DELHI: Not once in the 16.3 overs that Mumbai Indians bowled on Wednesday night did it feel that they were without their premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah. What Bumrah has made MI and India fans accustomed to was 'engineered' by a man from Uttarakhand , when Akash Madhwal bowled like a dream to keep the five-time champions alive in IPL 2023.

Of those 16.3 overs, the 29-year-old Madhwal -- a right-arm pacer from Roorkee -- delivered 21 balls that not just put brakes on Lucknow Super Giants but dismantled them for 101 all out while chasing MI's 182/8.
