Trent Boult's Explosive Performance
In response to Mumbai's 217 runs, the entire Rajasthan Royals team was dismissed for just 117 runs. Their batsmen were unable to withstand Mumbai's sharp bowling attack. Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, and Karn Sharma, in particular, dismantled Rajasthan's middle and top order. Trent Boult, in just 2.1 overs, conceded 28 runs while taking three wickets, but these three wickets concealed a historic achievement in his career. As he dismissed Nitish Rana, he completed 300 wickets in his T20 career.
Boult has now taken 301 wickets in 257 T20 matches played so far. He has terrorized batsmen with his bowling prowess not only in the IPL but also in the Major League Cricket, International League T20, and various other overseas T20 leagues. The greatest strengths of Trent Boult's bowling are his swing and yorkers. He is particularly adept at taking early wickets with the new ball.
