Jasprit Bumrah registers career-best T20 figures
To register his best T20 figures, Bumrah first dismissed Russell. It was a huge relief for the team looking at Russell’s power-hitting reputation. Moreover, KKR batter Nitish Rana was hitting the ball very well. However, he was Bumrah’s next victim, in the very same over. This 15th over was the game-changing one for MI. On the very first delivery of his 3rd over Bumrah dismissed Sheldon Jackson. A dot followed. Pat Cummins was dismissed as Bumrah bowled an uncomfortable length, and Tilak Verma took the easy catch. Next, Narine was caught and bowled by Jasprit who was on fire. Tim Southee, being a bowler read Bumrah’s mind and saved his team from a hat-trick of wickets. Jasprit Bumrah bowled a brilliant final over giving only 1 run while Rinku Singh, an aggressive batter was on strike. However, MI’s batting faltered and they lost the match by 52 runs.
“I know there is a lot of noise outside that goes on but it doesn’t really affect me. Because I am not a person who judges my performance on what others think or what the experts are saying or whatever people want to say.“
