Kolkata Knight Riders: Mumbai Indians' star seamer Trent Boult gave his take on evolving demands for death overs bowling in the IPL 2025 and said it is a challenge he has always worked on.

Boult is the all-time leading wicket-taker in the first over in IPL history with 30 scalps in 96 matches. Also, he is only 11 behind Bhuvneshwar Kumar's 77 wickets in IPL powerplays. The 35-year-old fast bowler has never taken more than nine wickets at the death in a single IPL season, but in IPL 2025 he already has six scalps to his name.

"It's a challenge and an area I’ve always worked on. My mantra has been to keep getting better and never plateau with my skills or performance. I’m constantly pushing myself to come up with new options and plans. These days, there are so many batters - some we’ve never even heard of or played against - so you’ve got to be on your game. Clarity is key, and executing under pressure makes the difference. It’s all about training well and being ready for those moments," Boult said on JioHotstar’s series 'Gen Gold'.
