While there are many players this season who did exceptionally well in their first match itself, here is a look at the top four players who impressed on their debut match.
#4 Mujeeb Ur Rahman
Afganistan became a surprise producer of quality spinners and Mujeeb Ur Rahman is the latest one to come through the ranks of the emerging Asian powerhouse.
After being picked for ₹3.2 crore in the IPL auctions, Mujeeb introduced himself to rest of the league by picking 2/28 in his debut match.
He registered six wickets so far this season and is his team's most economical bowler with an economy of 6.91. His mystery spin proved to be difficult for batsmen to deal, and also, 51 dot bowls are already registered to his name in just six matches.
Bowling was considered to be KXIP's weakness prior to the tournament. But they proved the critics wrong and are bowling impressively so far this season.
