    IPL 2025: Just Did My Process, Never Expected This Award, Says Ashwani Kumar On Winning POTM Honour

    Indian Premier League: As he joined Mumbai Indians as an inexperienced uncapped player, Ashwani Kumar was not sure of getting a chance to play a match in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 considering that Mumbai had big-name bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar, Mujeeb Ur Rahman besides skipper Hardik Pandya.

    But Bumrah's unavailability because of his rehabilitation for a back injury and Mujeeb's indifferent form opened the door for him, and the 23-year-old left-arm pacer from Punjab grabbed it both hands, claiming a match-winning 4-24 against Kolkata Knight Riders.

    It was not only Ashwani's first four-wicket haul but also the best figures by an Indian bowler on IPL debut. It earned Ashwani, who claimed a wicket on his first delivery in IPL, his maiden Player of the Match Award, and the players termed it as a big thing for him.
