IPL 2018: 6 Talking points from week 1

1) Mayank Markande, the new find of IPL

Mayank Markande has picked 7 wickets in 3 IPL games

Over the years Mumbai Indians have handed a debut to some exciting youngsters who have gone on to make a big name for themselves. The opening game of this IPL was one such occasion when the 20-year old wrist-spinner from Punjab, Mayank Markande, grabbed his opportunity and produced a scintillating display of leg-spin bowling. He accounted for the dismissals of Ambati Rayudu and MS Dhoni with his sharp googlies and eventually ended up with figures of 3-23 in his 4 overs, capping off a memorable debut.

Markande has bagged another 4 wickets in his second IPL game and is the proud holder of the Purple cap heading into week 2 of IPL 2018. We can expect this young sensation to fox many more batsmen in the games to come!
