Mumbai Indians (MI) star pacer Jasprit Bumrah left fans astounded with his newfound bowling skills, showcasing a lethal googly that even caught former teammate and current MI batting coach Kieron Pollard by surprise.
A viral video shared on social media platforms captured the intense exchange between Bumrah and Pollard as they faced off in the nets.
Bumrah unleashed three deceptive deliveries, all disguised as googlies, leaving Pollard momentarily baffled.
While the West Indian powerhouse managed to punch the first delivery towards covers, the second delivery nearly caught him off guard, narrowly avoiding a leg hit with a last-minute bat defense.
However, Pollard showcased his expertise on the final delivery, smashing Bumrah down the ground, sparking a friendly banter between the two onlookers, debating whether it would result in a catch or sail over the boundary for a six.

This camaraderie between Bumrah and Pollard, who share a rich history of triumphs at MI, adds a layer of depth to their player-coach relationship.
With Bumrah's outstanding performance in the ongoing IPL, where he holds the prestigious Purple Cap with 13 wickets from seven games at a remarkable economy rate of 5.96, his evolution as a bowler continues to impress cricket fans worldwide.
Despite MI's current position at seventh on the points table, with three wins and four losses in seven games, Bumrah's consistent brilliance on the field remains a beacon of hope for the team.
Additionally, Bumrah's recent feat of equalling Umesh Yadav's record for the most POTM awards by a pacer in IPL history, with 10 accolades to his name, further solidifies his status as one of the premier fast bowlers in the tournament.
Looking forward MI gears up for their upcoming clash against the Rajasthan Royals(RR) on April 22 in Jaipur.
