Ashwin Kumar Shines with Four Wickets on Dream IPL Debut for Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indian's impressive young fast bowler Ashwin Kumar made a dream IPL debut by grabbing four wickets against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Wankhede Stadium. The left-arm medium-pacer completely destroyed KKR's batting team with the bowling figures of 4/24, as the Mumbai Indians emerged winners. With his impressive bowling exuberance, Ashwin made his presence felt straight away by getting KKR's skipper Ajinkya Rahane out at his very first ball. He followed that up with an aggressive spell in which he removed Rinku Singh and Manish Pandey one after the other without allowing them to settle down. Along with those, his most important wicket and the final nail in KKR's coffin was that of Andre Russell, whom he got out, thus KKR's resistance came to an end. Ashwin's impressive spell made him the only one Indian bowler to get four wickets on an IPL debut, among very few others.

He also further irritated even well-settled batsmen with his strict line and length backed with variation. After the match, the man of the match showed his enthusiasm and appreciation towards the Mumbai Indians for having trust in him. His performance has surely given MI a dangerous bowler to wield for the rest of the tournament. With that sort of astounding start, Ashwin Kumar will be an emerging star of IPL 202
