(MI) star pacer Trent Boult recollected his fondest memory of the Indian Premier League (IPL). He said in 2015, he was picked by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and got an opportunity to share the dressing room with former South Africa pacer Dale Steyn, a player he idolised.

"One of my fondest IPL memories is from 2015 when I was picked to play in Hyderabad. I had idolised Dale Steyn growing up, and suddenly, I was sharing the dressing room with him. That`s the beauty of IPL: getting to play alongside guys you never imagined you`d meet," Trent Boult said on JioHotstar`s special series.

In the 2015 edition of the league, SRH acquired the services of Boult for Rs 3.80 crore.

The franchise then had the likes of Eoin Morgan, David Warner, Kevin Pietersen, along with Steyn.

In 2020, Boult switched his team from Delhi Capitals (DC) to MI. After joining the five-time champions, the pacer stated how the management gave him the freedom to express himself.

"When I moved from Delhi to Mumbai in 2020, I truly experienced what the MI `One Family` culture is about. I`ve always felt welcomed, backed, and supported. They gave me the freedom to go out, express myself, and just do my thing.

I feel very fortunate to be in this position," said the 35-year-old pacer.

"What I remember most is being in the bubble during COVID, bunkered down in Abu Dhabi with a great setup and the familiarity of playing at the same ground. It was a bizarre time, but that 2020 Mumbai Indians team was one of the best T20 sides I`ve ever been part of. The tournament flew by--we made it to the play-offs, won the final, and it was a great feeling. Many of those faces are still around, so there`s no reason we can`t create more magical memories," he added.

In the ongoing , Trent Boult shouldered the franchise`s lead pacer, Jasprit Bumrah.

The duo played a crucial role in helping MI get back on the winning track.

So far, Boult has registered 10 wickets in nine IPL 2025 matches for Mumbai. In his previous game against Hyderabad, the pacer returned with the figures of four wickets for 26 runs.
