Trent Boult's knack for early wickets continued Friday, sparking a wave of memes on social media as the Rajasthan Royals rattled the Sunrisers Hyderabad batting order in Qualifier 2 of the 2024 Indian Premier League.
The New Zealand pace ace, known for his devastating first overs, lived up to his reputation once again, dismissing opener Abhishek Sharma with a beauty of a back-of-a-length delivery. Boult wasn't done there, adding the scalps of in-form batsmen Rahul Tripathi and Aiden Markram in quick succession to leave SRH reeling at 57/3.
This dominance with the new ball has become a familiar sight for IPL fans, with Boult now holding the record for most first-over wickets in IPL history – a staggering 29.
The early dismissals sent social media into a frenzy, with fans creating hilarious memes around Boult's consistent early strikes.
