IPL  2018: One player from each team who has performed beyond expectations so far

#3 Mujeeb Ur Rahman - Kings XI Punjab

The 17-year old Afghan off-spinner has been a revelation for Kings XI Punjab. He is one of the most economical bowlers this season. He has pushed experienced players like Miller, Stoinins, and Gayle to the bench in various matches. Ashwin has used the youngster very intelligently to curtail run flow and to take wickets.

In KXIP's match against CSK when a target of close to 200 was chased down Mujeeb's bowling figures read 3-0-18-0. In KXIP's first match against DD, he took the wicket of the dangerous Colin Munro in his first IPL over. In the same match, he also sent back the hard-hitting batsman, Rishabh Pant who scored a 13-ball 28. From being an unknown entity who was unlikely to feature in the playing, Mujeeb became the youngest cricketer to play in IPL and has impressed one and all with his performances.
