Tristan Stubbs made a winning start to his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians despite being dismissed for a two-ball duck.
The 21-year-old South African, who came in at No 5 for Mumbai, missed a juicy full toss with the first ball he faced from Mukesh Choudhary and was then trapped lbw after being beaten by a back-of-a-length delivery that clocked 135km/h.
