Here are ten players who dazzled on their respective IPL debuts.
6. Andrew Tye 5/17 vs RPS, 2017
In the 13th match of the season, two struggling teams faced each other to change their luck. Gujarat Lions won the toss and opted to bowl first. Australian pacer Andrew Tye was making his IPL debut. He came to bowl the last over of the powerplay and got Rahul Tripathy caught by Aaron Finch. Then got rid of Ben Stokes via a slower one to halt Pune's batting a bit.
When he came for the 20th over, he started off on a great note. He got wickets on the first three balls he bowled and produced a hat-trick. In this IPL game, he not only got a hat trick but also a five-wicket haul. What else he could have asked for? His bowling fetched him the well-deserved Player of the Match award.
Next season, he was the highest wicket-taker and claimed the purple cap. Though he was a late bloomer in international cricket, he didn't waste his first chance in the IPL. Till now, he has played 30 matches and taken 42 wickets to his name.
