Ashwani Kumar: Ek Debut Jo Reh Gaya Yaadgaar
Mumbai Indians ke 23-year-old left-arm pacer Ashwani Kumar ne IPL 2025 mein aate hi dhamaal kar diya! 31 March ke match mein Kolkata Knight Riders ke against unhone 4 wickets lekar sabki bolti band kar di. Apni pehli hi ball pe Ajinkya Rahane ko clean bowled karke match mein jaan daal di aur phir Rinku Singh, Manish Pandey, aur Andre Russell jaise bade naam bhi unke shikaar ban gaye.
Unki teeno overs mein 4/24 ke figures ne MI ko KKR ko sirf 116 runs pe all out karne mein madad ki. Ye IPL history mein ek Indian bowler ka debut pe best performance hai – sach mein historic!

Kaun Hai Ashwani Kumar?
Ashwani Kumar Punjab ke Jhanjeri, Mohali se aate hain. Ye left-arm fast bowler death overs mein bowling karne ke liye jaane jaate hain. IPL 2025 auction mein Mumbai Indians ne unhe ₹30 lakh mein kharida. Pichle season mein wo Punjab Kings ke squad mein the, lekin unhe mauka nahi mila tha.
2022 mein unhone Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy se T20 debut kiya tha aur ab tak sirf 4 T20 matches khele hain. Lekin unka asli talent dekhne ko mila Sher-e-Punjab T20 League mein jahan unhone BLV Blasters ke liye 4/36 ka best spell daala tha.
MI ne is season domestic talent ko promote karne ka trend banaya hai. Vignesh Puthur aur Satyanarayana Raju jaise players ko bhi debut karwaya gaya hai.
Conclusion
Ashwani Kumar ne jo performance dikhayi hai, wo sirf shuruaat hai. Agar aise hi pace aur control ke saath wo bowling karte rahe, toh IPL hi nahi, Team India ka future bhi ban sakte hain. Filhal toh MI fans ka dil jeet liya unhone!
