Rajpoot made the headlines after one of the most memorable bowling performances ever as he claimed 5/14 in a league game in the 2018 season against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the latter’s home ground.
Owing to his outstanding show, Rajpoot went on to earn the Man of the Match award. Notably, Rajpoot is the only uncapped player to have a five-wicket haul in the IPL.
