So, where are those people hiding now — the ones who said Jasprit Bumrah had run out of steam? Oh wait, they’re probably busy changing their Twitter bios to “Bumrah stan.”
Yes, after that long injury break, Bumrah did look a bit off — like a high-end sports car stuck in second gear. But let there be no doubt: the beast is back, and he’s once again making life miserable for batters. Honestly, I hope the opposition has insurance — both mental and otherwise.
After missing the first four games of the season, Bumrah strolled back in, shook off the rust (and a few rough spells, including a 44-run hammering against Delhi), and then flipped the switch.
His next four games? 8 wickets. Economy rate? Hold on — 6.3. That’s not just good bowling; that’s suffocating-level control. Whether or not he gets the Purple Cap, those are legendary numbers.
Against LSG, he bagged 4 wickets. And in the very next match against Rajasthan Royals, he pulled out his magic again. In the very first over, he dismissed Riyan Parag and Shimron Hetmyer on back-to-back deliveries.
The Royals looked so shaken, even their bats seemed to crack under pressure. Mumbai didn’t just win — they steamrolled their way to victory.
And speaking of records — Bumrah is now 3rd on the all-time list for most IPL wickets for a single franchise: 179 wickets in 143 matches for Mumbai Indians. That’s incredible consistency.
In clutch moments, when MI has needed someone to step up — not with the bat, but with nerves of steel and a golden sling-arm — it’s always been one man: Jasprit Bumrah. The undisputed GOAT of this generation.
What happened in RR vs MI match?
Batting first, Mumbai batters went berserk. After fiery half-centuries by Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma, it was a sensational 94-run unbeaten stand by Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya that powered MI to 217/2.
Rajasthan's run-chase was derailed early on as they found themselves wanting at 47/5 before eventually getting all out for a mere 117.
Mumbai Indians have completely transformed their season. After losing 4 of their first 5 games, MI are now on a 6-match winning streak. RR on the other hand have officially been knocked out
