IPL: 10 Players who impressed on their debut in cash-rich league
Here are ten players who dazzled on their respective IPL debuts.
4. Jasprit Bumrah 3/32 vs RCB, 2013
In the very first match that Ricky Ponting captained, he fielded a rookie seamer from Gujarat named Jasprit Bumrah in his playing XI. He had the ball in his hand in the fifth over and was against Virat Kohli. We all know what happened next, he trapped Virat Leg Before Wicket (LBW).
In his second over, he got his would-be test colleague Mayank Agarwal out. Though he conceded some boundaries against Gayle, it was understandable, considering it was his first game. In the 13th over, he got Karun Nair's wicket, and his first outing ended with a three-for spell. He was in the discussions mostly for his bowling action. An unusual one with a short run-up and raising his hand high above his head before delivering the ball.
Since then, Bumrah has been synonymous with the Mumbai Indians team. It's been 10 years, they have been going really strong together. Unfortunately, he is not featuring in the ongoing edition due to his rehab.
