In the ongoing IPL 2024 match between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad, Jasprit Bumrah made a stunning comeback for Mumbai Indians. After being brought on by Hardik Pandya in the fourth over, Bumrah wasted no time in making an impact.
Bumrah’s delivery to Wriddhiman Saha was impeccable—a perfect yorker on the off-stump line with impressive pace and movement. Saha attempted to block it but missed, resulting in the ball crashing into the off stump, sending him packing with just 19 runs off 15 balls. Bumrah’s celebration reflected his excitement as he marked his return to the Indian T20 League with a bang, giving Mumbai Indians a crucial breakthrough.
Earlier, in his debut match as Mumbai Indians’ captain, Hardik Pandya won the toss and elected to field first. Opting to lead the MI attack himself, Pandya’s first over yielded 11 runs. Surprisingly, he returned for the third over instead of handing the ball to Jasprit Bumrah, following Luke Wood’s second over that conceded nine runs.
Despite Titans’ brisk start, Bumrah emerged as MI’s hero with a precise yorker dismantling Saha’s stumps. Shortly after, Piyush Chawla continued his impressive spell, causing trouble for Gujarat Titans’ batters. Despite Shubman Gill’s attempts to relieve the pressure, he fell victim to a straightforward catch by Rohit Sharma.
While Wriddhiman Saha and Gill initially strengthened GT’s innings, Mumbai Indian bowlers are staging a strong comeback, securing two wickets in rapid succession.
