    Indian Premier League: Mumbai Indians proved once again that dreams do come true as they uncorked another cricketing gem, pushing into the forefront an unknown bowler from Punjab in their first home match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium here on Monday.

    A few days after they introduced Vignesh Puthur to the world, against the fellow five-time winners Chennai Super Kings in Chennai, the Mumbai Indians on Monday gave the first cap to Ashwani Kumar, an unknown 23-year-old left-arm seamer from Jhanjeri town near Mohali (Chandigarh).

    Ashwani grabbed the opportunity with both hands and claimed 4-24 in three overs, making use of the conditions and slight assistance provided by the fresh Wankhede pitch. Ashwani thus became the first Indian bowler to claim four wickets on IPL debut, ending up with the best figures by a debutant bowler.
