Punjab's Young Pace Bowler Gets His First Contract in the Indian Premier League

In one of their most important clashes against Kolkata Night Riders (KKR) at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Indians (MI) gave 23-year-old left-arm bowler Ashwani Kumar his first game in IPL. This 23-year-old seam bowler, who is known for his swing and control during his domestic matches, will be looking to earn a spot in the roster of the 5-time champions in his first match.

A Promising Talent from Punjab

Punjab’s Ashwani Kumar, born on 29 August 2001, is one of the most promising youngsters in the booming world of cricket. He started as a kid who clocked a fair amount of achievements by representing his state of Punjab in under-age tournaments. Ever since making his first-class debut in 2019, he has played in all formats of cricket. His ability to bowl at critical stages particularly shines through. He has also played 4 T20 matches, picking up 2 wickets with an economy of 8.50 runs per over. His domestic performances led the IPL scouts in a bidding frenzy before settling down in MI with a price of 30 lakhs INR at the 2025 IPL auction.

A Direct Encounter With KKR

The fact that Ashwani made it to the playing XI against KKR shows that MI has confidence in his skill set. With powerhouses such as Suryakumar Yadav, Will Jacks, and Hardik Pandya’s skipper as teammates, he has the best chance to showcase his talent on the premier T20 platform. Supporters will be anxiously awaiting to see if the young, fast bowler is able to cope with the pressure and produces an incredible performance in his first game.
