Jasprit Bumrah is considered one of the best in the business, when it comes to changing games with the ball. The genius was once again seeing doing un-imaginable things in the ongoing game against the Gujarat Titans.
Notably, the Titans won the toss ahead of the game and sent Mumbai Indians to bat first. The Mumbai Indians struggled at the beginning of the innings. However, Will Jacks and Suryakumar Yadav did the repair job and got MI to a competitive total of 155/6 at the end of the 20 overs.
Shubman Gill Held The Innings Together For GT
In the chase, the Titans lost Sai Sudharshan early. But Shubman Gill stuck at one end and tried to take the team close to the target. To begin with Jos Buttler and then Sherfane Rutherford partnered with Gill to take the team closer.
Rain interrupted the proceedings and at that stage that Titans were ahead by eight runs in the game. However, as the match resumed, Mumbain Indians made a dramatic comeback led by Jasprit Bumrah.
Jasprit Bumrah Provided Two Strikes And Brought MI Back Into The Game
The ace Indian pacer picked up the wicket of Shubman Gill. This is was followed by the wicket of Sherfane Rutherford from Trent Boult. After the fall of these two batters, GT depended a lot on their designated Shahrukh Khan to see them through.
On the fourth delivery of the 17th over, Bumrah bowled a good length delivery at the middle and leg stump line. Shahrukh Khan swung across the line but missed the ball completely. The ball crashed into the stumps and resulted in the dismissal of the Indian lower order batter.
Immeidately after the wicket, Bumrah stopped in his follow through and gave a death start to the batter walking back to the hut.
