About Akash Madhwal
Akash Madhwal is a fast bowler from Uttarakhand who produced one of the most remarkable bowling performances in IPL history. Born in 1993 in Roorkee, he is known for his skiddy trajectory and quick-arm action. He is also a close neighbour of Rishabh Pant, as both come from the same area of Uttarakhand.
Career highlights
Akash came up through tennis-ball cricket and Uttarakhand’s domestic team, and joined Mumbai Indians in the IPL. On 24 May 2023, in the IPL eliminator against Lucknow Super Giants, he took five wickets for just five runs, the best figures ever by an uncapped player in the IPL, and was named Player of the Match.
His performance made him a national talking point overnight and a symbol of how the IPL can transform the careers of players from smaller states.
What audiences love about Akash
Fans love Akash’s rags-to-riches style rise and his calm, humble manner. His late emergence, after years of tennis-ball cricket, is an inspiring story for young players in Uttarakhand and other smaller cricketing states.
His friendship and neighbourly link with Rishabh Pant is a story fans enjoy.
Before cricket became his career, he studied engineering, and he only moved to professional cricket relatively late, which makes his success even more striking. Coaches have praised his accuracy and his ability to bowl yorkers under pressure, skills that served him well in the tense situations of the IPL playoffs.
