IPL 2023: Top 3 Best bowling figures in power-play session in the history of IPL

In the ongoing match between the Gujarat Titans and the Delhi Capitals, Mohammed Shami has cemented his place among the top 5 best bowling spells in the Powerplay in IPL history. With an impressive return of 4 wickets for just 7 runs, Shami has played a pivotal role in putting the Delhi Capitals on the backfoot.

Shami started his spell with a bang, taking the wicket of Philip Salt in the very first ball of the game. Salt was looking to play an aggressive shot, but ended up skying the ball to Miller at cover. Shami’s second wicket was equally impressive, as he got Rossouw caught by Saha with a classic Test match delivery that swung away late from Rossouw resulting in a thick outside edge that was caught by Saha. Shami then dismissed Manish Pandey and Priyam Garg, both caught by Saha, displaying his exceptional bowling skills and fielding coordination.
