Mumbai Indians pacer Jasprit Bumrah was seen bowling leg-spin to MI batting coach Kieron Pollard in nets ahead of the Rajasthan Royals (RR) match in the upcoming IPL 2024 tournament.
Jasprit Bumrah, the Purple Cap bearer for this Indian Premier League (IPL) season, has caused nightmares for opposing batters with his toe-crushers and lethal bouncers. With 13 wickets in seven outings, Bumrah has been in phenomenal form and appears unplayable.
With an economy of under 6 RPO, Bumrah has been the bowler to watch out for this IPL season. In the three wins, MI has secured so far, Bumrah has played a major role.
However, on Saturday, Bumrah was seen in a new avatar as he bowled leg-spin during a net session and had a go at one of T20 cricket's biggest hitters Kieron Pollard.
Pollard, who is the MI batting coach, and recently participated in the PSL 2024 tournament, was having trouble negotiating the googlies bowled by Bumrah.
MI shared the video of their duel on social media, with caption: “Bumrah vs Pollard, with a twist”
