5 players who had a scintillating start to their IPL careers

#4 Michael Hussey vs Kings XI Punjab

Mr.Cricket's IPL debut was a memorable oneApril 19, 2008

Michael Hussey made his IPL debut for the Chennai Super Kings against the Kings XI Punjab in Mohali. It was also the first ever IPL match for the CSK. Hussey scored a scintillating century-116*(54), that included eight fours and nine sixes.

This took the CSK’s total to 240-5 in 20 overs. The KXIP’s innings was anchored by the half-centuries from Kumar Sangakkara and James Hopes. But eventually they fell short of the target by 33 runs and the Super Kings won their first ever IPL game convincingly, courtesy Michael Hussey’s heroics. Mr.Cricket was the Man of the match for his brilliant century that guided Chennai to victory.
