Mumbai Indians fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah took the mickey out of Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel after dismissing him in the 29th match of Indian Premier League 2025 last night. The dismissal was part of DC’s batting collapse in a 206-run chase at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

It all happened on the fourth delivery of the 13th over when Patel became Bumrah’s first IPL 2025 wicket. Wanting to guide a harmless full-toss bowled on the leg-stump, the left-handed batter ended up lobbing it off to MI vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav at cover.

While there’s no shame in getting out to a bowler of Bumrah’s calibre, top-edging a full toss in the entirely opposite direction is embarrassing, to say the least, irrespective of the bowler. The unfortunate nature of dismissal made Bumrah pat Patel’s back whilst he walked back to the pavilion after scoring 9 (6).

Jasprit Bumrah Ridicules Axar Patel

IPL post-match visuals often comprise players belonging to rival teams catching up with each other for various reasons. In a 16-second video uploaded by Delhi, Bumrah, Patel, Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul can be seen in jovial mood after Mumbai’s 12-run victory.

Seeing the funny side of the dismissal, Bumrah, although without the exact audio, can be seen poking fun at Patel with regard to the strange dismissal.

Notably, Bumrah and former West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo have dismissed Patel the maximum number of times (4) in T20s. Additionally, each one of these combined eight dismissals have come in the IPL.

Historically, Patel has had a subdued head-to-head record against Bumrah. Across 14 innings in the format, he has managed 52 (52) with the help of four fours and a six.
