In the ongoing clash between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium, Jasprit Bumrah once again showcased his bowling mastery by dismissing a well-set Prithvi Shaw. Despite a challenging game for most bowlers, Bumrah’s remarkable control stood out, conceding a mere 8 runs in his initial two overs.

Deployed strategically by Hardik Pandya, Bumrah made his first appearance in the powerplay, yielding just four runs. His reintroduction into the attack came at a critical juncture when Shaw and Abishek Porel were building a formidable partnership, worth 85 runs.

As Bumrah steamed in to bowl the 12th over, he exhibited his trademark precision, conceding only three singles before unleashing a toe-crushing yorker that shattered Shaw’s stumps. The delivery was so venomous that Shaw had to hurriedly withdraw his back leg to evade potential injury, highlighting Bumrah’s lethal accuracy.
