Excellent first over record
In this way, the process of taking wickets in the first over of Bolt continued in this season. In IPL 2023, Bolt has taken the maximum 7 wickets in the first over. In the overall IPL career, Bolt took the 22nd wicket in the first over. Only Bhuvneshwar Kumar (25) is ahead of him.
This figure of Bolt could have increased in this over. On the last ball of the over, new batsman Atharva Taide also played a shot back just like Prabhasimran, but this time Boult could not catch the same catch.
