Mumbai Indians (MI) fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah was not at his potent best in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, but he roared back in style against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Match 56. Bumrah returned excellent figures of 4-1-10-5 at the end of the KKR innings, which included wickets of Andre Russell and Nitish Rana.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) failed to capitalize on their excellent start against MI. They slipped from 123/2 to 156/8 after Rohit Sharma won the toss and asked them to bat. Jasprit Bumrah was the architect of that collapse, as he bowled a fiery spell against KKR.
Bumrah only bowled one over in his opening spell and returned to bowl the 15th over to begin his second. He struck immediately, by dismissing Andre Russell and then, removed a well-set Nitish Rana in the same over. Then, in his third over, he bowled a maiden over with three wickets, which includes Sheldon Jackson, Pat Cummins, and Sunil Narine.

If you haven't watched this from Bumrah today, you have missed something. By some distance the best spell I have seen this #IPL. Just brute pace and amazing skill. When he bowls like this, he is unmatched.
