11 May
Summary
- Madhav Tiwari, 21, claimed his first IPL wicket against Punjab Kings.
- The young all-rounder's maiden wicket was that of PBKS batter Priyansh Arya.
- Tiwari has been with Delhi Capitals since the IPL 2025 mega auction.
In a pivotal IPL 2026 match against Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals introduced 21-year-old Madhav Tiwari, a fast-bowling all-rounder, who immediately made his mark. Tiwari claimed his first IPL wicket by dismissing Priyansh Arya, who had been scoring freely. The dismissal of Arya, after a rapid 56 runs, provided a key breakthrough for Delhi Capitals.
This was Tiwari's debut bowling appearance of the IPL 2026 season. Hailing from Madhya Pradesh and born in September 2003, Tiwari is recognized as a promising pace-bowling all-rounder. He earned his IPL contract following strong performances in age-group and franchise tournaments.
Tiwari was acquired by Delhi Capitals for INR 40 lakh in the IPL 2025 mega auction and was retained for the 2026 season. He made his IPL debut in 2025 but did not bowl in that match. He has represented Madhya Pradesh at U-19 and U-23 levels and showed batting prowess with two half-centuries in the CK Nayudu Trophy.
