Andre Russell rattled (Source: @IPL/X)
Mumbai Indians have scouted yet another gem from their brilliant scouting system and his name is Ashwani Kumar. The youngster was given a chance to showcase his skills in the Indian Premier League match against Kolkata Knight Riders and he didn't disappoint as he scalped 4 crucial wickets.
Ashwani Kumar destroys Andre Russell
He bowled some dream delivery but nothing better than the one to castle Andre Russell. Russell wanted to heave him on the leg side as Ashwani bowled a quick-fire length ball and Russell missed it as the ball shattered his stumps. This was no ordinary wicket as the youngster had dismissed one of the best T20 batters of current times.
Russell was struggling for runs and Ashwani Kumar used it to his advantage as he bowled it straighter and quicker and Russell's middle stump was uprooted.
KKR batters crumble against MI bowlers
KKR were put into bat and Hardik Pandya's decision paid off dividend as Trent Boult knocked over Sunil Narine for zero and the carnage began soon. Wickets started to tumble at regular intervals and none of the KKR batters stood tall.
For a brief period of time, Rinku Singh and Manish Pandey tried their best, but Ashwani Kumar had some other plans as he, alongside the other bowlers knocked over KKR for a paltry 116.
The debutant finished with figures of 4 for 24, while Deepak Chahar took 2 for 19 as the KKR side crumbled and need a big task ahead with the ball.
