Akash Madhwal (born 25 November 1993) is an Indian cricketer.[1] He is well known for his trajectory and ability to get the ball to skid and rip through from a quick-arm action. He is known for his connection with Indian wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant as his close neighbour as both live in the same area in Uttarakhand.[2]

On 24 May 2023, he took a five-wicket haul in the eliminator match against Lucknow Super Giants, conceding only five runs. With this performance, he registered the record for best bowling figures by an uncapped player in IPL history and also won player of the match award for that match.[3]
