Ravichandran Ashwin cleared his views on team selection as a captain when he decided to go with the mystery of Mujeeb Ur Rahman instead of the reputation of Chris Gayle. The selection of the youngster proved out to be a masterstroke as he removed the dangerous Colin Munro on the very third delivery of his IPL career.

The 17-year-old went only for 11 runs in the first two overs that he bowled in the powerplay. He came back in the 14th over of the innings to put an end to Pant’s assault. Mujeeb ended with dream figures of 4-0-28-2 on debut. He also affected the very important run out of Gautam Gambhir.
