For Mayank Markande, the dream run began with Ambati Rayudu's wicket at the Wankhede Stadium during the 2018 IPL season opener against the Chennai Super Kings. Two overs later, he took the prized wicket of CSK skipper MS Dhoni, before finishing his debut IPL game with the figures of 3/23 in four overs.

The Punjab leg-spinner scalped 15 wickets in 14 matches throughout the 2018 IPL for Rohit Sharma's men, and was one of the permanent fixtures in their XI.

Markande was hailed as one of the bargain buys of the 11th edition of the IPL due to his impressive exploits with the ball. The 21-year-old continued his incredible run for Punjab in the 2018-19 Ranji Trophy as he finished the tournament as his side's highest wicket-taker, with 29 scalps in six matches.

Markande achieved his dream of representing India at the highest level as he made his T20I debut against Australia at Visakhapatnam last month. Watch out for this young leggie at the 2019 IPL as well.
