IPL 2023: Top 5 bowling performances from fifth week
Though there were several good bowling performances, there were a few that stood out. Here's a look at those.
3) Yash Thakur 4/37 vs PBKS
In a game where 458 runs were scored, Yash Thakur returned with figures of 4/37. Playing only his third IPL game, the right-arm fast-medium pacer showed courage on the field. He had only one IPL wicket before this game, and in this context, he would be delighted with his performance.
Yash got the dangerous Sikandar Raza in the 12th over, keeping the contest tight. He bowled his last two overs in the death. Though, the game was almost gone from Punjab Kings' hands, it was still not over. Jitesh Sharma launched two sixes in style but later he fell to Yash's trap.
In the last ball of the eighteenth over, he got Rahul Chahar out. Later, he got Shahrukh Khan caught by Ravi Bishnoi to finish off the innings. He kept things simple, and hit the right lengths. Yash looks to be a promising pacer, but only time will tell how many skills he possesses.
