Another IPL season and another Afghanistan teenager makes it to the Indian headlines. Mujeeb Ur Rahman is the first male cricketer, born in this millennium, to play international cricket. Furthermore, he became the youngest player to take a five-for in ODI, which came against Zimbabwe.

Coming to his bowling style, the 16-year-old is a 5'10'' tall and possesses a blend of variations with a quick action, thereby making it harder for the batsmen to read. He will join the spin duo of skipper Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel in Kings XI Punjab setup.
