Young cricketers are the future of any cricketing nation. Indian Premier League has brought up a big stage for the youngsters to show their skills at the early age. Like the previous years, every team provided some scopes for the young cricketers in this year too out of which some achieved great successes while some need more games to grow up their abilities.
Like every previous season, some youngsters impressed with their cricketing skills in this IPL season too. Here we are briefly talking about 5 youngsters in IPL 2018 who impressed for the first time.
(Special mention: while Rashid Khan has already impressed widely in IPL 2017, we didn’t add him to this list)
Mujeeb Ur Rahman (Kings XI Punjab)
The Afghan off-spinner is the youngest cricketer in the IPL history after making his IPL debut at the age of just 17 years and 11 days. The KXIP off-spinner bowled consistently well in this season while the most of his other teammates struggled with the ball.
Mujeeb finished as the second most wicket-taker for the team in this season as he took total 14 wickets in 11 matches with 20.64 bowling averages and 6.99 economy rates. His best bowling figure was 3/27 against Rajasthan Royals at Indore on May 6.
