It's unusual for a player, who hasn't been a popular name in domestic cricket, to get picked by an IPL team, and then get to play his first game on such a big stage against the likes of Virat Kohli and Chris Gayle and outwit the batsman such as with the calibre of the former.
The two superstars of Indian cricket currently, faced off each other for the first time eight years ago on April 4, 2013. Jasprit Bumrah, the lanky, skinny tall pacer from Gujarat with an unorthodox action comes on charging and Kohli is just taken aback by the unusual action.
If the action wasn't enough, the ball comes in with the slant movement of his action and Kohli is late in reading the same. The fifth ball of the fifth game between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore, the pacer bowls an incoming delivery from the corner of the crease, Kohli failed to judge the movement and is trapped in front of the wickets.

A loud appeal and the youngster gets his first wicket. A wicket to remember for a player making gentle strides into the big league.
Eight years later, Bumrah is currently one of the best bowlers in the world and one of the superstars in the IPL. Bumrah, now having played for Mumbai Indians in all the seasons of the IPL since has won the title with the team for five times and has played 92 games in the league, taking 109 wickets at a strike rate of 19.2 and an economy of just 7.41.

The upcoming season of the IPL will begin with this very clash only as the two-time defending champions Mumbai Indians will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the tournament opener on April 9 in Chennai.
