We watched every ball of CSK vs MI, couldn't sleep from joy: Vignesh Puthur's mother

India Today  

Vignesh Puthur called his parents after the high of his Indian Premier League debut. The 24-year-old from Malappuram, Kerala, made headlines on Sunday, March 23, after making his debut for Mumbai Indians against Chennai Super Kings in a high-profile IPL fixture in Chennai. Remarkably, Vignesh had yet to debut for the Kerala senior team in domestic cricket, yet he found himself bowling to the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra, showcasing his left-arm wrist-spin -- a rarity in world cricket. The entire family, including his father, Sunil Kumar, remained glued to every delivery of the match in which the young spinner claimed three wickets. Vignesh's impressive debut was acknowledged in the Mumbai Indians dressing room, which found several positives despite their loss to their arch-rivals.
