This year, these bowlers took the mantle of providing early breakthroughs to their teams with their exceptional bowling talent.
4. Mohammed Shami- 3 Wickets
In the 2023 season, Mohammed Shami emerged as a top contender for the Purple Cap. Spearheading Gujarat Titans’ pace attack from the front, Shami picked up 26 wickets in 15 games at an economy of 7.66, with his best bowling figures of 4/11 coming against Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) Stadium, Mohali, Shami delivered an excellent start that helped Gujarat win the game comfortably with six wickets in hand. Scalping Prabhsimran Singh’s wicket on the second delivery of the game, he helped his team to restrict the opponents to an average total of 153.
Like the PBKS game, Shami dominated batters in his first overs against Delhi Capitals (DC) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 44th and 62nd IPL 2023 games, respectively. Against Capitals, he dismissed Phil Salt while in the contest against Sunrisers, he got Anmolpreet Singh on the fifth delivery of the match.
