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.
1. Trent Boult- 7 Wickets
Trent Boult led Rajasthan Royals’ (RR) bowling attack from the front in this year's IPL. Claiming 13 scalps in 10 contests at an economy of 8.21, he ended up as the most efficient pacer for his team. In his side's opening match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), he powered RR to a 72-run win, with a couple of wickets in his first over.
Boult maintained his form with the ball in his next match and this time too, he took a couple of batters (Prithvi Shaw and Manish Pandey) in his first over while saving a total of 199. Against Gujarat Titans (GT) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in matches 23 and 32 respectively, he got Wriddhiman Saha and Virat Kohli with his tight bowling.
In RR’s final league game of the competition, he provided an early breakthrough to his team in the form of Prabhsimran Singh, on the second ball of the match. With the Punjab opener's scalp, he took seven wickets in his first overs of IPL 2023.
