At the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, match number 42 of the IPL 2023 will feature Mumbai Indians (MI) vs Rajasthan Royals. The game will get underway at 7:30 PM IST. As a result of dropping four of their first seven games, Mumbai is ranked eighth out of ten teams.
Rajasthan, on the other hand, is currently in second place after winning five of its last eight games. But in their last three games, the team has suffered two defeats. In their most recent game, they defeated the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 32 runs. Mumbai has dropped their last two games.
Let’s take a look at three bowlers who can take the most wickets in the game
1 Piyush Chawla: He is currently his team’s top wicket-taker. He is a seasoned leg-spinner. At a 17-point-45 average and a 7-point-11 economy rate, he has taken 11 wickets in seven games.
In his most recent match against the Gujarat Titans, he took two wickets for 34 runs. Vijay Shankar and Hardik Pandya were the two crucial wickets he took. The 34-year-old has participated in 268 T20 contests overall, taking 287 wickets at an average of 24.08.
2 Ravichandran Ashwin: He is Rajasthan’s most prolific off-spinner. In eight matches, he has taken 11 wickets at an economy rate of 21 points and an average of 21 points.
In the most recent game against Chennai, Ashwin took two wickets. In his last three games, he has taken five wickets. The 36-year-old has faced Mumbai in 32 games and taken 24 wickets at an average of 30.12 and a 6.75 economy rate.
3 Trent Boult: New Zealand quickly missed his team’s most recent game against CSK due to a minor injury, but both Rajasthan and Trent Boult personally would like to play in the match against Mumbai on Sunday.
Due to his prior affiliation with the Mumbai Indians and extensive time spent on the ground, Boult is very familiar with the Wankhede track. Boult has taken nine wickets in six games during the IPL 2023, with an average of 21.22 and an economy of 7.95.
With an average of 34.12 and an economy rate of 8.85 in eight games against his former team, Boult has taken eight wickets from them. At Wankhede, the match between the Mumbai batter and Boult would be interesting to watch.
