Delhi: Five-time champion Mumbai Indians included England’s left-arm fast bowler Luke Wood in their team in place of Australia’s injured fast bowler Jason Behrendorff. This 28-year-old fast bowler, who reached IPL after making a splash in the Pakistan Super League, was beaten breathlessly by the Delhi Capitals batsmen on Saturday afternoon. Luke Wood gave away 68 runs in the quota of four overs and registered an embarrassing record in his name. Now Luke Wood has become the bowler who has bowled the most expensive spell in the history of Mumbai Indians. This incredible record was earlier in the name of South Africa’s Kwena Mafaka, who had given 66 runs in four overs against Sunrisers Hyderabad in his debut match in this edition of IPL.

Breathless beating of famous PSL bowlerLuke Wood, who has played five T20 International matches and two ODIs for England, was signed by Mumbai Indians at his base price of Rs 50 lakh. Luke Wood, who has taken eight T20 International wickets, displayed exceptional skill and performed brilliantly for his team Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League (PSL 2024). For right-handed batsmen, his ability to reverse swing the ball baffles even the best batsmen. His ability to adapt to different situations and consistently perform well in a high-pressure tournament like the PSL speaks volumes about his talent and determination.
