Career story

Madhav Tiwari career and playing journey

Who is Madhav Tiwari?

Madhav Tiwari is a right-handed batter and right-arm fast-medium bowler from Madhya Pradesh who plays for Delhi Capitals. The official IPL player directory calls him an all-rounder and describes pace, bounce and movement in both directions as the basis of his bowling. Delhi's own profile uses the same batting hand and bowling type. Those classifications carry more weight than secondary pages that shorten his role to batter after reading only his limited IPL batting record.

Tiwari was born on 28 September 2003. A detailed Cricbuzz feature and Outlook's player explainer connect his early life to Maulganj in Madhya Pradesh. He was 22 on 11 August 2026 and will turn 23 in September. A new competition or team does not create another profile, and abbreviated scorecard forms remain attached to this same record.

Madhav Tiwari age, role and bowling style

The official IPL auction list gives Tiwari's date of birth as 28 September 2003, identifies the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association as his state association and lists him as an uncapped all-rounder. It records right-handed batting and right-arm fast-medium bowling. Delhi's current profile agrees on those fields. That cross-check matters because a thin player record can otherwise be confused with another person who shares the surname Tiwari.

Fast-medium is a broad role label rather than a measured speed claim. Public sources describe his ability to swing the ball both ways, but the retrieved records do not publish a top speed. This profile therefore discusses his role through actual overs, wickets and scorecards rather than assigning a pace in kilometres per hour. His eight-ball innings against Punjab also shows lower-order hitting value, although two IPL batting innings are too small a sample for a permanent batting judgment.

Early cricket in Madhya Pradesh

The accessible record places Tiwari in Madhya Pradesh's franchise pathway before his IPL selection. Cricbuzz lists Bhopal Leopards, Madhya Pradesh and Ujjain Falcons among his teams. Madhya Pradesh League scorecards show his involvement for Bhopal, while the official IPL auction list ties him to the state association. These records establish a pathway from local T20 cricket to the national franchise auction without claiming a senior first-class or List A career that the reviewed sources do not document.

A Cricbuzz feature published after his 2026 breakthrough describes repeated practice, long training sessions and the family decisions behind his pursuit of cricket. Those details explain the development story but do not replace a scorecard. This profile separates narrative reporting from statistical proof: features can document his route into the game, while exact runs, balls, overs and wickets come from competition tables. This distinction prevents an inspiring story from being turned into unsupported career totals.

Bhopal Leopards performances before the IPL

Tiwari played for Bhopal Leopards in the Madhya Pradesh T20 League before Delhi signed him. A secondary 2024 season table lists six matches, 72 runs from five completed innings and three wickets from 15 overs. The 2025 league table records seven matches and 108 runs at a strike rate of 180, while individual scorecards show his use as a lower-order hitter. Those are separate seasonal snapshots, not figures that This profile adds to IPL statistics.

The state-league evidence helps explain why an IPL franchise could view him as an all-round option despite no established senior domestic aggregate in the sources available at auction time. It also needs a quality label: the retrieved league tables are secondary records, not an official MPCA career database. This profile uses them for development context and leaves them outside the main format card. A later licensed or official domestic feed can replace the snapshot without altering his IPL ledger.

Delhi Capitals purchase at the IPL 2025 auction

Delhi Capitals bought Tiwari for ₹40 lakh in the final phase of the IPL 2025 mega auction. The franchise's official auction review records the purchase, while the BCCI auction list identifies his base profile as an uncapped Madhya Pradesh all-rounder with a ₹30 lakh reserve price. The final ₹40 lakh amount is the transaction value and should not be confused with the reserve price that opened bidding.

Delhi described its late auction choices as part of a plan to add Indian depth across roles. Tiwari entered a squad with established pace bowlers and all-rounders, so the contract did not guarantee immediate selection. The official 2026 retention announcement later confirmed that Delhi kept him. These are roster facts, not evidence of a private promise, salary bonus or fixed place in the eleven. The profile records the purchase and retention without guessing what coaches discussed behind closed doors.

Madhav Tiwari IPL debut against Mumbai Indians

Tiwari made his IPL debut for Delhi Capitals against Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium on 21 May 2025. Mumbai made 180/5. Delhi did not use him as a bowler, but the scorecard records his catch to dismiss Ryan Rickelton from Kuldeep Yadav's bowling. Delhi's chase then collapsed to 121 in 18.2 overs, a 59-run defeat that ended its playoff hopes.

Batting at number nine, Tiwari scored three from four balls before being dismissed in the 16th over. That left his first-season IPL line at one match, one batting innings, three runs, no bowling innings and one catch. It would be incorrect to assign him a bowling average or economy for 2025 because he delivered no ball. The debut remains important as the first official franchise appearance, even though Delhi's team result and his individual batting return were modest.

Return against Punjab Kings in IPL 2026

Delhi brought Tiwari back into the eleven against Punjab Kings at Dharamsala on 11 May 2026. Punjab made 210/5. Tiwari completed four overs for 40 runs and took the wickets of Priyansh Arya and Cooper Connolly, his first two IPL dismissals. The official Delhi match report describes the contribution as his maiden IPL wickets, while the NDTV scorecard confirms the figures and match sequence.

The chase required 211. Tiwari arrived late and finished unbeaten on 18 from eight balls, hitting two fours and one six. Delhi reached 216/7 in 19 overs and won by three wickets with an over remaining. He received Player of the Match for the combined 18 not out and 2/40. The award was not based on a projected all-round reputation; it followed a match where his late runs and two wickets both changed the result.

Best IPL bowling figures against Rajasthan Royals

Six days after the Punjab match, Tiwari played against Rajasthan Royals in Delhi. He bowled four overs for 27 runs and took two wickets, improving his IPL best from 2/40 to 2/27. The detailed scorecard records the dismissals of Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Shubham Dubey. Rajasthan reached 193/8, giving Delhi another demanding chase.

Delhi completed 194/5 in 19.2 overs and won by five wickets. Tiwari did not bat, so the match changed his bowling aggregate without adding a batting innings. His 2/27 came at an economy of 6.75, a clear improvement on the 10.00 economy from the Punjab spell. Two matches still form a small bowling sample, but the figures show repeat wicket-taking rather than a single debut burst. The profile preserves both spells so readers can see the progression.

Final 2026 appearance against Kolkata Knight Riders

Tiwari's fourth IPL appearance came against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens on 24 May 2026. Delhi made 203/5 and defended it by bowling Kolkata out for 163 in 18.4 overs, winning by 40 runs. The official IPL report identifies Kuldeep Yadav as the match-turning bowler and records Delhi's third consecutive victory to close the season.

Tiwari did not bat and returned 0/20 from two overs. That spell completed his 2026 bowling ledger at ten overs, 87 runs and four wickets. The arithmetic gives an average of 21.75, economy of 8.70 and strike rate of 15 balls per wicket. These values match Delhi's current player table. Reporting the wicketless final spell matters because a career page should include ordinary appearances as well as the two matches in which he took wickets.

Madhav Tiwari IPL stats and records

Through 24 May 2026, Delhi's official profile lists four IPL matches and two batting innings. Tiwari scored 21 runs from 12 balls, with one not out, a high score of 18 not out, an average of 21.00 and a strike rate of 175.00. He hit two fours and one six. His fielding total is two catches: one on his 2025 debut and one across the 2026 appearances.

His bowling record covers three innings and 60 balls. He conceded 87 runs, took four wickets and recorded best figures of 2/27. The resulting average is 21.75, economy 8.70 and strike rate 15.00. He has no four-wicket or five-wicket haul. The table uses an exact closed IPL segment rather than describing these as all recognized T20 career figures. Domestic league matches belong to a separate competition record and require a current authoritative aggregate.

How to read a four-match IPL sample

Four IPL matches can establish events, not a settled career level. Tiwari has a debut, a Player of the Match award, two two-wicket spells and an unbeaten chase contribution. Those achievements are factual. They do not prove that he will maintain a 175 strike rate or take a wicket every 15 balls over a full season. One additional innings could move every average sharply because the denominator remains small.

The useful interpretation is role-based. Delhi has used him as a lower-order right-handed hitter and a fast-medium option, with bowling workloads of four, four and two overs in 2026. He was not asked to bowl on debut and did not bat in his last two matches. Those choices describe how his role has appeared in specific scorecards. They do not establish a permanent batting position, death-over assignment or guaranteed place in a future eleven.

Madhav Tiwari salary and net worth

The financial figure is Delhi Capitals' ₹40 lakh purchase before IPL 2025. The official auction list shows a ₹30 lakh reserve price, while Delhi's report gives the higher final amount. The franchise then retained him for 2026. This profile calls ₹40 lakh an auction price or IPL player deduction; it does not present the number as cash received after tax, fees and contract conditions.

No audited source retrieved for this review publishes Tiwari's assets, endorsement income or net worth. A website cannot calculate those values by multiplying an IPL fee or adding unsourced social-media claims. The profile therefore answers the net-worth question with an evidence boundary: the public record supports the ₹40 lakh IPL purchase, but not a personal wealth estimate. If a future filing or direct reputable interview supplies more, it can be assessed on its own evidence.

Madhav Tiwari family and relationship information

Cricbuzz's feature discusses Tiwari's family support and the sacrifices surrounding his cricket development. That reporting is relevant to his pathway, but the official IPL and Delhi records do not publish a complete family directory. This profile does not turn relatives mentioned in a feature into searchable personal profiles or repeat names beyond what is necessary to explain the cricket story.

The reviewed sources do not reliably confirm a wife, girlfriend or relationship status. The page leaves that field unpublished instead of treating silence as proof that he is single. This is both a factual and privacy safeguard. The same standard applies to a portrait: no image is used because the retrieved photographs did not establish reuse rights for This profile. The approved initials fallback remains until identity, provenance and permission are all documented.

How StumpScope verifies Madhav Tiwari records

This profile matched Tiwari's name, date of birth, state association, batting hand and bowling style across the BCCI auction list, official IPL page and Delhi Capitals profile. Delhi and IPL sources lead current team, auction and retention claims. Scorecards establish his debut, runs, balls, catches, overs and wickets. The current Delhi aggregate is reconciled against all four match entries before the format card is saved.

The stats connector therefore remains manual- and does not map a different Tiwari or a generic season article. Secondary league tables provide development context only. No unsupported first-class, List A, family, relationship, speed or net-worth claim is filled to make the page appear complete.
