The teenager's googly was very effective throughout the IPL and bamboozled even the best in the business, Virat Kohli, once. He picked 14 wickets from 11 games in the IPL at an economy of just 7, with best figures of 3/27 against the Rajasthan Royals.

In a match between CSK and KXIP, Dhoni described him as the decisive factor in turning the game in KXIP's favour. In the last part of league stage, when Mujeeb got injured, the Kings XI Punjab did not win a single game and missed out on IPL playoffs.
