Mumbai Indians' (MI) Jasprit Bumrah, current holder of the purple cap in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, made a heartwarming gesture at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Tuesday, April 30.  

After the completion of Match 48 between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and MI, Bumrah gave away his purple cap to a young fan in the stands as he made his way back to the dressing room.

This touching moment showcased Bumrah's character both on and off the field, leaving a lasting impression on his fans around the cricketing world.

It was undoubtedly a memorable moment for the young fan, but not as much for the Mumbai Indians, who suffered their seventh defeat of the season.

After being forced to bat first, MI found themselves in trouble after losing four wickets in the powerplay. Despite a promising 53-run partnership between Nehal Wadhera (46) and Ishan Kishan (32), the visitors struggled to recover. 

Tim David's quickfire 35 off 18 balls, including a crucial 17-run last over, helped them finish at 144/7.

In response, LSG's chase was led by all-rounder Marcus Stoinis, whose brilliant innings of 62 runs from 45 balls, featuring seven fours and two sixes, anchored their victory. 

Despite MI's bowlers making regular breakthroughs, Stoinis' controlled aggression ensured LSG stayed on course for the win. Skipper KL Rahul also contributed with a valuable 28 at the top of the order. Ultimately, LSG reached their target in 19.2 overs, finishing at 145/6.
