New Delhi, May 18 -- Punjab Kings have a new big-hitting batsman from Australia in their ranks after they gave Mitchell Owen his Indian Premier League debut against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday.

However, it was a debut to forget as the 23-year-old lasted all of 2 balls on his IPL debut. Coming in to bat at number 3, Owen was dismissed caught behind by wicketkeeper Sanju Samson off Kwena Maphaka after trying to hit a trademark big six.

The Tasmanian batsman tried to smash a wide ball outside off stump to the leg side area but he could only manage to slice the ball high up in the air.

Captain Samson, who is back from an injury lay off and wearing the keeping gloves, pouched the catch in his safe hands.
