IPL 2023: Top 5 bowlers with most wickets in first over
This year, these bowlers took the mantle of providing early breakthroughs to their teams with their exceptional bowling talent.
3. Mohammed Siraj- 5 Wickets
Mohammed Siraj came out as the most efficient bowler for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) this year. Grabbing 19 wickets in 14 matches at an economy of 7.50, he ended up as the leading wicket-taker for Challengers. In the 2023 season, Siraj scalped five heads in his first overs.
Against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 15th game, RCB couldn’t extract desired results but Siraj tried his best by hunting Kyle Mayers in his first over. The pacer displayed his bowling skills against Punjab Kings (PBKS) again with his four-wicket haul in his team’s comfortable 24-run triumph in Mohali. During his four-over spell, he looked fierce with the ball from his first over, getting the better of Atharva Taide on the second delivery of the PBKS’ innings.
In match 32 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Siraj led RCB’s bowling unit from the front, outmaneuvering Rajasthan Royals’ star batter, Jos Buttler, on the fourth delivery of RR’s innings. Playing in a crucial game against RR at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Siraj also made Yashasvi Jaiswal his victim on the second delivery of RR’s innings.
