Sakib Hussain is on track to maintain his record of bowling the highest number of overs in the IPL without conceding a six. The right-arm pacer from Bihar made his IPL debut against the Rajasthan Royals less than two weeks ago.
As of midday, Sakib has bowled 12 overs this season without being hit for a six. This marks the highest number of overs by any bowler in the current IPL season without conceding a six.
In three IPL matches, he has taken six wickets at an impressive average of 14.16 and an economy rate of 7.08. His standout performance came during his debut match, where he took four wickets for just 24 runs.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, currently in fourth place in the standings, is looking to achieve their fifth victory of the season in their upcoming match against Rajasthan Royals. The Royals are captained by Riyan Parag and feature players like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel.
Sakib has also played six first-class matches and 12 T20 internationals since turning professional in 2022. His rapid rise has caught the attention of fans and analysts alike.
Observers expect Sakib’s performance to be crucial as Sunrisers Hyderabad aims for a strong finish this season. The next match will be pivotal for both teams involved.
