MI pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah had a stellar night, conceding a mere 27 runs in four overs and dismissing Washington Sundar, who seemed all set to carry the match away from the five-time IPL champions. Washington Sundar had hammered 48 off 23 balls, but Bumrah bowled a brilliant yorker to dismiss him. GT hit 2 fours and 1 six while Bumrah was bowling, but his accuracy and control were evident.
Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya praised Bumrah, calling him an asset in himself and comparing him to the ever-increasing prices of Mumbai real estate. “It’s straightforward. Whenever the game seems to be slipping away, just bring him in. Having that option is a real advantage. It’s like housing prices in Mumbai – he’s that valuable,” Pandya said. He also added that he kept an eye on the scoreboard to ensure the team was able to restrict the runs at the end with his bowlers.
Six bowlers delivered their full four overs, with Rashid following Bumrah for economy rate. Rohit Sharma was adjudged player of the match for his blitzkrieg 81 off 50 balls, setting up a total of 228/5. In reply, GT got to 208/6, thus Mumbai Indians went on to win by 20 runs and will confront Punjab Kings in the second qualifier on Sunday. The winner will meet Royal Challengers Bengaluru on June 3 for the final.
The performance of Bumrah and the overall team effort underlined the strength of Mumbai Indians as they continue their quest for another IPL title. Bumrah's consistency and ability to perform under pressure are invaluable assets that could tip the balance in their favor in the coming matches.
