Mumbai Indians (MI) pacer Jasprit Bumrah was once again at his best in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) as he turned the game MI’s way with his spell despite the SRH’s flying start.

Bumrah bowled his heart out in his spell as he even though got just one wicket, gave away only 14 runs in his 4 overs. With the restricted run flow in his 4 overs, SRH batting order was under pressure and eventually fell 13 runs short of their target.

While talking to ESPNcricinfo, former West Indies fast bowler Ian Bishop explained the reasons behind the 27-year-old’s success.

“He has had at periods when he has not been at his best and he has gone for runs. So it's not like he is invincible. But he has such a great understanding on when to bowl what - those slower balls, those off-cutters, when he goes for yorkers, when he pulls his lengths back,” he said.

The West Indian then compared Bumrah to Bhuvneshwar Kumar as he said, “That is similar to what Bhuvneshwar Kumar at his best can do when he is in good rhythm, and he is thinking through. Maybe not as good as Bumrah, but close.”

“Jasprit is amazing when he is in control. I cannot imagine how please Team India and Mumbai Indians are that guy is fit to play across all formats,” he added.

After SRH, Rohit Sharma and Co. will be taking on Delhi Capitals (DC) on Tuesday (20 April) at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
