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]
He was born in the city of Roorkee,which is located in the state of Uttarakhand,India. He originally hails from Dungra village of Almora district,Uttarakhand. However,due to his father Ghananand who had served in MES wing of Indian Army in Roorkee,his family settled down in Roorkee nearly 30 years back. [4]
After completing his primary and secondary education at Roorkee Public Senior Secondary School in Uttarakhand,Akash Madhwal went on to pursue a degree in civil engineering in 2016 from the College of Engineering Roorkee,which he successfully graduated from. [4]

In 2019,he caught the attention of former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer who then served as the head coach of Uttarakhand as well as the current head coach of Uttarakhand Manish Jha. [7] The duo suggested him to take up red ball and began practicing with the red ball.

Madhwal was not a starter in Mumbai Indians playing XI during the 2023 Indian Premier League. He subsequently got his opportunity and grabbed it with both hands during the league stage match against Punjab Kings at Mohali which eventually marked his IPL debut and his arrival to the league. [17] Although Madhwal had a tough debut conceding 37 runs off the 3 overs he bowled without a wicket,he did a fine job by bowling the last over of Punjab Kings innings where he showed his glimpses of his death bowling. He became the first Uttarakhand based home grown cricketer to play in Indian Premier League. [18]
Madhwal's reputation grew ever since he replaced Arjun Tendulkar in the Mumbai Indians bowling lineup as he stepped as Mumbai Indians go-to reliable bowler to get the breakthroughs in important junctures of matches during the 2023 IPL. [19] [20] He was also compared to the likes of Jasprit Bumrah for his ability to bowl yorkers in an effective manner and to deliver yorkers in a consistent basis. He was roped in by Mumbai Indians scouting network which is known for producing and nurturing young talents. [21] During the 2023 IPL season,he showcased his bowling repertoire and rose to prominence as Mumbai Indians go-to bowler especially in powerplay overs and in death overs especially in the absence of Jofra Archer and Jasprit Bumrah. [22] [23]

[27] [28] His figures of 5/5 is also the best bowling figures registered by the bowler in a playoff match in IPL history surpassing the 13-year-old record held by Doug Bollinger as the latter claimed 4/13 during 2010 Indian Premier League season for Chennai Super Kings in their playoff match against Deccan Chargers. He also broke Ankit Rajpoot's IPL record for registering best bowling figures by an uncapped player and also became the first bowler to take a fifer in an IPL playoff match. [29]
He also tied the record of Anil Kumble for taking the most economical five wicket-haul with least number of runs conceded in an IPL innings and it was also his maiden five-wicket haul in IPL and T20 cricket. [30] During the match against Lucknow Super Giants at Chennai,he delivered plenty of dot ball out of the 21 deliveries he bowled to complete his four over quota and his bowling performance literally helped Mumbai Indians to reach Qualifier 2 and to keep the Mumbai Indians hunt in the race for the possibility of reaching IPL final.
