Trent Boult, the ace bowler for the Mumbai Indians (MI), was a member of the team that won the 2020 Indian Premier League. Boult declared it to be among the top T20 sides he has ever played with after five years. MI hasn’t touched the trophy since winning their fifth championship in 2020.
At the moment, Boult works for the franchise held by Reliance. With 10 wickets in nine games at an average of 28.80 and an economy rate of 9.00, he has had a successful IPL 2025 thus far.
“Being in the bubble during COVID—bunked down in Abu Dhabi with a fantastic setup and the comfort of playing at the same ground—is what I remember most. That 2020 Mumbai Indians team was among the best T20 teams I’ve ever played for, despite the strange times. We advanced to the playoffs, won the championship game, and it was an amazing experience. The tournament went by quickly. Boult stated on JioStar, “There’s no reason we can’t create more magical memories because many of those faces are still around.”
2015 is one of my favourite IPL memories: Trent Boult
Boult thought back to 2015, when he was selected by the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). He adored Dale Steyn and was thrilled to be in the same locker room as the great player. Boult has played for numerous IPL teams.
After beginning his IPL career with SRH, he later played for KKR, DC, MI, and RR. But when he talked about playing with MI, everyone around him encouraged him. He felt at home after returning this season, and the changing room atmosphere is amazing.
Boult bowls first, either with Jasprit Bumrah or Deepak Chahar, depending on the match’s requirements. The player has been used effectively by captain Hardik Pandya this season, sparing him for the final overs.
I had a really special IPL memory from 2015, when I was selected to play in Hyderabad. Growing up, I looked up to Dale Steyn, and now I’m in the same dressing room as him. Being able to play with guys you never thought you’d meet is the beauty of the IPL.
Moving to Mumbai from Delhi in 2020 gave me a true taste of what the MI “One Family” culture is all about. I’ve always had a sense of support, encouragement, and belonging. I was able to go out, express myself, and simply do what I wanted because of them. “I consider myself extremely fortunate to be in this role,” Trent Boult stated on JioStar.
