The Indian cricketer Said Iqbal Abdulla was born on December 2, 1989. He is a left-handed lower-order batsman who bowls orthodox spin and is a member of the international cricket team. In the Ranji Trophy, he is a member of the Mumbai team, and he was once a member of the Royal Challengers Bangalore team, who competed in the Indian Premier League. In addition to playing for India A, India Green in the Challenger Trophy, and the India Under-19 cricket team, he has also participated in other significant teams.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore, the Mumbai cricket team, the Kerala cricket team, and the Kolkata Knight Riders are all cricket teams. When Abdulla ripped through Haryana’s batting line-up with a five-for in a Twenty20 game, he came to the attention of the public. Abdulla was a frequent performer on the Mumbai club circuit. Soon after, he was selected for the Indian Under-19 side to compete in a tri-series in Sri Lanka. During that tournament, he took eight wickets for 69 runs in 31.1 overs, making him the third-highest wicket-taker in the tournament.
It was largely because of his 10 wickets, each of which was worth thirteen, that the India Under-19 team was able to win the World Cup in Malaysia in 2008. As a result of his total of 27 wickets taken during the 2010–11 season, Abdulla was the most successful wicket-taker for Mumbai. His average was 22.11 wickets per game. In addition to being a genuine fielder, he is a good batter who hits in the bottom middle order. After winning two “Man of the Match” honors for his team during the 2011 Indian Premier League, Abdullah also took home the “Rising Star” title for his performance.
He also got the Man of the Series award for India A at the Emerging Players Tournament that took place in Australia in 2011. As a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders, Abdulla was able to bring home the Indian Premier League championship for the first time in five years in the year 2012. Royal Challengers Bangalore has been his team of choice ever since he joined them in 2014. To compete in the Ranji Trophy for the 2016–2017 season, Abdulla made the switch from Mumbai to Kerala in the year 2016.

Rikki Clarke’s innings of unbeaten 73 enabled them to chase the target in 17.3 overs, which ultimately led to them winning the match by seven wickets. Earlier in the competition, the team headed by Irfan Pathan won the toss and elected to put the score first on the board. However, they were unable to defend it even though they had placed the score first. On the other hand, a video from the first inning that shows Yusuf Pathan yelling at Iqbal Abdulla is now making the rounds on social media.
At the time when Yusuf Pathan was taking the strike, the event occurred in the fourteenth over of the Bhilwara Kings’ innings. Asghar Afghan, an all-rounder for the Urbanrisers, delivered the fourth ball of the 14th over. Pathan guided it towards the backward point and was halfway to collecting a run. However, Iqbal, who was placing himself at the non-striker end, denied the run, creating a mistake in judgment. Pathan was able to take a run.
As a result of the fact that several matches saw teams scoring more than 250 runs with relative ease and their records were in shambles, this season was full of run fests and graveyards for bowlers. The vast majority of the pitches did not provide any advantages for the bowlers. Even though the circumstances did not provide much aid, there were a few bowlers who excelled throughout this season. In order of best wicket-taking during the season, below are the top five players.
