The spell included a hat-trick — dismissing Shreyas Iyer (caught), Shivam Mavi (caught), and Pat Cummins (caught) in consecutive deliveries — making it one of only a handful of IPL five-wicket hauls to include a hat-trick. This spell helped RR qualify for the 2022 final. | Rajasthan Royals | 2,022 | Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai | Career-best IPL bowling figures; included hat-trick |

His flipper and leg-break combination works most effectively against batters who look to drive on the off-side, which is common in KKR's and MI's top-order profiles. | — | — | — | — |
