Mumbai Indians unearthed another young gem this IPL 2025 season. After Vignesh Puthur, left-arm pacer Ashwani Kumar claimed 4 wickets on his debut against KKR and Mumbai’s scouting team got all the credit.

MI faced KKR in the 12th fixture of the IPL 2025 season. The defending champions batted first but Mumbai’s bowling attack bowled thunderous spells to completely outclass Kolkata batters.

KKR were 4 wickets down in the powerplay and collapsed to just 116 runs. Meanwhile, for MI, another potential future star emerged in the game.

Moreover, the night turned magical for Ashwani as he got 3 big wickets of Rinku Singh, Manish Pandey and Andre Russell to secure a four-wicket-haul on debut.

Meanwhile, after Vignesh Puthur, Ashwani Kumar is the second promising talent MI has unleashed this year. Hence, the franchise’s scouting team got praised on social media by fans.
