The premier MI pacer, Jasprit Bumrah first bowled an unplayable yorker to rattle the stumps of Shikhar Dhawan and then got the prized wicket of the Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper, Shreyas Iyer cheaply which left DC reeling while chasing a daunting target of 201 runs against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Qualifier 1 on Thursday. The Mumbai Indians fast bowler did not stop there. He returned to send Marcus Stoinis’s stumps for a cartwheel and finished with career-best T20 figures.
Reflecting on Bumrah’s performance, Mumbai Indians bowling coach Shane Bond said the MI pace spearhead is the best T20 fast bowler in the world. In a video shared by the franchise on Twitter, Bond was heard saying, “Jasprit, it’s a privilege to watch the best T20 fast bowler in the world go about his work.”
