In the 2017 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, Ankit Soni had a notable performance, and his top three statistics highlight his contributions both as a batsman and bowler:
Best Bowling Figures: Ankit Soni's best performance with the ball came during the match against Kings XI Punjab on May 8, 2017, where he achieved bowling figures of 3 wickets for just 27 runs in 3 overs. This performance showcased his effectiveness as a bowler, particularly in a high-pressure environment.
Total Wickets: Over the course of the 2017 season, Soni took a total of 2 wickets across his matches. His ability to contribute with key dismissals added value to his team’s bowling attack, though it placed him in the 21st position among his peers for total wickets.
Best Batting Score: Ankit Soni's highest score during the season was 7 runs, which he achieved in the match against the Mumbai Indians on April 30, 2017. While his batting statistics were modest, this performance stood out in a season where he mainly contributed with the ball.
These three statistics encapsulate both the challenges he faced as a lower-order batsman and the potential he demonstrated as an emerging bowler in the tournament.
