5 Debutants who have been the most impressive in IPL 2018
Here, we look at five top players who have impressed with their batting, bowling and all-round skills in this IPL:
4. Mujeeb Ur Rahman (Kings XI Punjab)
The Afghans have made their names in the IPL and 17-year-old Mujeeb Ur Rahman has been one of the star attractions this year. The offspinner, born in the 21st century and the youngest player to feature in the IPL, has taken 7 wickets in as many matches for KXIP and has also bowled 61 dot balls, which places him at No. 8 rank in the list of the top miserly bowlers of this IPL. He took 2 wickets for 28 runs against DD on debut in Mohali, seeing the back of the ballistic Collin Munro and talented Rishabh Pant besides effecting the runout of former skipper Gautam Gambhir.
He also produced another gem of a performance in the second game against DD in Delhi by defending 16 runs in the last over by taking in-form Shreyas Iyer’s wicket to give his team a 4-run win.
After the likes of Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan, Mujeeb is another cricketer from Afghanistan who has impressed the IPL audience.
