Jasprit Bumrah put on an exhibition with the ball in Mumbai Indians’ (MI) opening match of the IPL 2024 season against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Sunday (March 24).

Invited to bat first, the hosts got off to a flying start as the duo of Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill added 31 runs for the opening wicket in double quick time.

It took a brilliant yorker from Bumrah to break the partnership as he cleaned up Saha for 19 off 15 balls. Bowling his second spell, the right-arm quick dismissed David Miller (12) and Sai Sudharsan (45) in the same over.

While Miller was deceived by a slower delivery, Sudharsan was caught at deep square leg while trying to flick a short of a length delivery.

After the first three overs, Bumrah’s bowling figures were quite astonishing as he had conceded only 8 runs with three wickets to his name.

In his last over, Bumrah gave away 6 runs and he returned with the figures of 3/14 in his four-over quota. Thanks to his stunning spell, MI restricted GT to 168/6 in 20 overs.
