New Delhi. Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan has heaped praise on Mumbai Indians pacer Akash Madhwal for his superb bowling and said that he has never seen an uncapped player dominate the game like this. Pathan said that the Uttarakhand pacer deserves full credit for taking Mumbai Indians (MI) to the Qualifier 2.
Their batsmen made valuable contributions to take Mumbai Indians to 181/8 at the Chepauk track. After that Madhwal broke the back of the LSG batting line-up and the Krunal Pandya-led side succumbed to him. LSG got bundled out for 101 runs in the Eliminator and MI went into Qualifier 2.
Madhwal took the best bowling figures of 5 for 5, which is a record for an uncapped player in IPL history.
We have never seen an uncapped player dominate the game like this, Pathan said on Start Sports Cricket. Akash Madhwal has taken nine wickets in the last two matches. Full credit goes to him for taking Mumbai to Qualifier 2.
Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif also praised the right-arm bowler for his mastery of skill and control.
Kaif said, Akash Madhwal bowls on hard length. His bowling style is similar to that of Mohammed Shami. They take a lot of advantage from the surface. What a player he has been for Mumbai Indians in recent times. He looks like a mature bowler in every game.
The 29-year-old fast bowler, who honed his bowling skills with tennis-ball cricket, received praise from former India cricketer and former head coach Ravi Shastri for bowling hard lengths and being a street-smart cricketer in the big game.
Shastri said, Madhwal applied himself brilliantly in this game. He bowled beautifully and hit the hard length ball on a slow track. He also has a good cutter. Tennis-ball cricketers are very street smart and Madhwal has shown that skill on the big stage. He is a young bowler and a quick learner. It was yet another brilliant effort from the young talent.(IANS)
