IPL 2018: 6 Talking points from week 1

5) Mujeeb Ur Rahman, the youngest player in IPL history

Mujeeb Ur Rahman had a dream IPL debut

The 17-year old lad from Afghanistan, playing for King XI Punjab, created history when he became the youngest IPL player ever. The fairy tale for Mujeeb Ur Rehman continued when he dismissed the number one T20 batsman, Colin Munro, on just his third ball of IPL career.

Rehman continued his impressive debut and later accounted for the dismissal of the dangerous-looking Rishabh Pant. He ended up with figures of 2-28 in his quota of 4 overs. With Ravichandran Ashwin captaining the Kings XI Punjab, we can expect the young Afghan to feature in the playing XI every time the Kings take on the field.
