What is the IPL all about if not coming up with the unlikeliest of heroes on debut? It is the league where men become boys and begin their journey towards glory. The first match of IPL 2018 was not any different.

After the match, Mayank Markande is the name on everyone’s lips after the 20-year-old made a dream debut for MI. The Punjab leg-spinner bowled a dream spell, coming away with figures of 3 for 23 off his 4 overs.

He also got the prized scalp of MS Dhoni. Markande is an invaluable find for MI this season. An Indian debut might be in the offing if he is on the right track.
