NEW DELHI: Mumbai Indians' debutant pacer Ashwani Kumar announced his arrival in style, delivering a sensational 4/24 on his IPL debut to decimate Kolkata Knight Riders' batting lineup. His heroics paved the way for Mumbai Indians' emphatic eight-wicket victory at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.
The 23-year-old left-arm pacer from Jhanjeri, near Chandigarh, carved his name into IPL history, becoming the first Indian bowler to take four wickets on debut. His remarkable spell played a crucial role in bundling out KKR to a mere 116 in 16.2 overs.
