IPL 2023: Best bowling performance from third week

With matches passing by thick and fast in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2023, the tournament is getting interesting as teams are competing against one another to gain top momentum and be in the winning zone. There are still many games left in the ongoing season of the cash-rich league and they promise plenty of mouthwatering action. However, we will talk about some of the exceptional bowling performances that we witnessed in week 3 of the Indian Premier League 2023. As with intense competition, teams are thriving to battle it out and play challenging cricket. Bowlers from across teams put forth some brilliant performances and displayed some remakarble bowling exploits. Here is the list of top 5 bowling performances from week 3 of the competition: 5. Avesh Khan 3/25 vs Rajasthan Royals Avesh Khan (Photo Source; IPl/Twitter) The right-arm pacer Avesh Khan was phenomenal with the ball for Lucknow Super Giants in match no. 26 of the ongoing season. He bowled with fire and was smart enough to vary his pace as and when the situation demanded the same. He grabbed the scalps of Devdutt Paddikal, Shimron Hetmyer and Dhruv Jurel to complete a well-deserved three-for. He recorded an excellent economy of 6.20 and the same showed how brilliant he was with the ball in hand. Avesh is one of the most prominent pacers who are a part of LSG's arsenal. He has shown immense promise with the ball in such a young career and would like to display some more remarkable efforts in the games to come to orchestrate an India comeback. 4. Andre Russell 3/22 vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Andre Russell (Photo Source : Twitter/IPL) Andre Russell picked up three wickets against Sunrisers Hyderabad and displayed a brilliant performance for his team in the match no. 19. Russell gave KKR their first significant wicket on the first ball of his spell on a pitch where runs were flowing freely. On the final delivery of the fifth over of SRH's innings, he claimed the wicket of Rahul Tripathy and jolted SRH. Russel returned to bowl the 19th over and snared the scalp of Abhishek Sharma who was threatening to take the game away from KKR. He has struggled with his fitness in the past few IPL seasons, and this season as well he has not looked his menacing best with the ball in hand. He silenced his critics by performing really well in the game against SRH at least with the ball in hand. 3. Vijaykumar Vyshak 3/20 vs Delhi Capitals Vijaykumar Vyshak.

Vyshak, a new debutant for the Royal Challengers Bangalore side, bagged limelight in the match by picking a three-wicket haul and finished the match with spectacular figures of 3/20. He was able to vary his line and length as per the needs of the wicket at the venue and it paid dividends. Vyshak's biggest wicket of the evening turned out to be DC's skipper David Warner. He also managed to dismiss both Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav before they could dent RCB's chances of winning the contest. 2. Sam Curran 3/31 vs Lucknow Super Giants Sam Curran.

Sam Curran's effective bowling for Punjab Kings during the final few overs helped PBKS to dominate proceedings in LSG's backyard. PBKS kept Lucknow Super Giants down to 159/8 and a major reason behind the same was Curran's brilliant spell. Sam Curran removed Krishnappa Gowtham and Yudhvir Singh on consecutive deliveries and prevented LSG from going big. In the absence of regular skipper Shikhar Dhawan, Curran was asked to lead the side against the KL Rahul-led LSG and Curran led from the front to deliver the magic for his team. 1. Mohammed Siraj 4/21 vs Punjab Kings Mohammed Siraj. (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) Mohammed Siraj took four wickets against Punjab in match no. 27 of the ongoing season. After Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis, each scored fifty, RCB put on 174 on the board. Despite the efforts of Prabhsimran Singh and Jitesh Sharma, the hosts were unable to match the score. Siraj was able to find his line and length quickly and was swift in putting the Punjab batters in a spot of bother. It was a result of fine bowling that none of the PBKS batters were able to get him away. With the second delivery of PBKS' innings, Siraj struck gold for RCB and trapped Atharva Taide. Siraj struck again to send Liam Livingstone back tot he dugout and also claimed the wickets of Harpreet Brar and Nathan Ellis to put an end to PBKS' hopes of winning the game. Siraj is one of the top contenders of the IPL 2023 Purple Cap as he has already claimed 13 scalps.
