Playing for the Royal Challengers in Bengaluru, many players, including Jacob Duffy, Tim David, Phil Salt, and Virat Kohli, have been picked as the POTM in the matches. Hazlewood has now picked his second POTM award for the season.
Josh Hazlewood picked two back-to-back wickets on consecutive deliveries in his very first over with the ball. He first dismissed KL Rahul with a bouncer that hurried onto him, and Rahul ended up top-edging it.
Hazlewood's next wicket came against Nitish Rana, and he wrapped up the game with his fourth wicket, dismissing Abhishek Porel with a sublime yorker at the middle stump. Having bowled 3.3 overs, he finished with the figures of 4/12 and was awarded the player of the match.
Josh Hazlewood reveals how the conditions helped him enhance his bowling performance
Speaking of the wicket, he revealed that the wicket helped them a little bit at the start of the overs, as the ball moved a little bit sideways and was enought for the bowlers to work out with.
"So it was just about the accuracy of the short ball in particular. But I think, no matter where you pitched, it sort of ended up at the right height. It was one of those wickets. So, yeah, I think when that ball was nice and hard, it was quite tough to bat."
Hazlewood's honest take on Team strategy and Momentum in the game
"But no, I think the way we planned it out was nice. Our spinners got into the game, you know, dotted it up nicely. Suyash bowled beautifully again. KP, wily-old character. So, yeah, it feels like every box is getting ticked at the moment," he said.
"So we really went on a bit of a streak towards the back end of last year, and it feels like we're sort of hitting our stride now at the right time of the tournament, I think," Hazlewood summed up on the team's brilliant performance.
