Legendary English fast bowler Stuart Broad praised left-arm pacer Trent Boult of the Rajasthan Royals, who was one of the main players in his team’s victory over the Mumbai Indians. Boult, living up to his reputation, took out Rohit Sharma and Naman Dhir in back-to-back deliveries in a double-wicket opening over that rocked the Mumbai Indians top order. He came back to end Mumbai’s powerplay in the third over by dismissing Dewald Brevis. They could only get an overcooked 125/9, and the Royals eventually prevailed by six wickets.
It was top-notch bowling, and we’ve learned to anticipate Trent Boult taking a wicket in his opening over rather than always two. The delivery at Rohit Sharma had a wobbling seam, and he moved over to take the outside edge. Next, he pitched on the middle stump, swinging back and striking the middle and leg. Probably not expecting to be in the first over, Brevis faced Trent Boult’s opening ball in the third over and could only edge it to a short third man.
Still, the bowling was good. The ball did indeed carry through and swing. As a former fast bowler, I found it thrilling to see this sort of bowling, and I believe that the hitters were outclassed by world-class bowling instead of taking bad shots, with the possible exception of Brevis,” Broad stated on Star Sports during Cricket Live.
Stuart Broad also broke down Trent Boult, a left-arm pacer for the Rajasthan Royals, and explained why he poses such a threat while using the new ball.
Indeed, the adage that “it’s a batter’s game” is frequently heard, but it just serves to highlight the importance of bowlers who take wickets. A player with as much experience in the Indian Premier League as Trent Boult, who has represented numerous teams, is hard to line up because of the way he moves the ball—moving it across the right-hander and then swinging it back into him.
Because he is not six feet six, he can bowl a length that hits the stumps frequently, which means he gets a lot of bowls and a lot of leg before wickets, and he is currently proving his worth for Rajasthan. As a result, no matter how much you have played against him, you still don’t really know what to expect or what you’re going to get. Though it was a very difficult night for Mumbai—one of those terrible nights that I believe Hardik would have had nightmares about—they are sitting pretty three from three.
Broad also praised the Rajasthan Royals’ bowling, which performed admirably at the Wankhede against the Mumbai Indians. Along with Boult’s 3/11, Yuzvendra Chahal was outstanding, taking three wickets on his own and taking the vital wickets of Hardik Pandya and Tilak Varma in the middle overs. In what was a comprehensive bowling effort by the squad, Avesh Khan claimed one wicket and Nandre Burger took two.
“It was really excellent bowling.” The Rajasthan Royals had such a lovely plan. The entire group’s excitement suggested, in my opinion, that Rohit Sharma’s wicket was a setup. Since the ball is swaying, as you can see from the seam release, they assumed Rohit would believe Boult was going to swing it back.
This indicates that there is a purposeful movement across the right-handed batter with the slip in place, and there is also an excellent catch made. A wicketkeeper will always find it challenging to field low and to the right. Since there isn’t much I can do about it, I genuinely believe Rohit is sitting in the changing room right now, feeling quite philosophical. He hasn’t exactly made a bad shot. Bowling was great, in my opinion,” he remarked.

Cricket player Steve Smith of Australia praised the Rajasthan Royals for their victory over the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede. “They were hitting the stumps with a really good length and were simply testing the batters’ defence.” There was enough motion for there to be some uncertainty. It was one of those evenings when everything seemed to be falling into place. On that particular night, everything went wrong for Rajasthan. They would nick it to the keeper and to the short third man.
Smith believed that the Rajasthan Royals’ bowling lineup, especially Chahal, worked well together to win the game.
The bowlers for the Rajasthan Royals were producing some nice angles. Because of the slight swing present, they can swing it back down the line and past the right-hand hitter. Prior to Yuzvendra Chahal entering the game and going three for eleven in four overs, I thought they were combining pretty well. Throughout the innings, they continued to take wickets because of his outstanding bowling performance, which included moving the ball out of the batters’ arcs and getting wickets at critical moments. Additionally, nobody in Bombay could truly get moving. While Tilak and Hardik put up a small fight in the middle, they were also able to escape. For Mumbai, it was simply not the right night.
