Mumbai Indians pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah was pleased with his maiden five-wicket haul in the Indian Premier League on Monday, but said he would have preferred a win against the Kolkata Knight Riders instead.
In the first 10 games of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season, Mumbai Indians pacer Jasprit Bumrah failed to take wickets consistently and he just had five wickets but all this changed in the game against Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy. Bumrah was at his fiery best and he rattled the opposition by unleashing yorkers and bouncers. The pacer went on to take five wickets, his maiden fifer in the cash-rich league.
Mumbai Indians pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who picked his maiden fifer in the IPL, said he is happy with his rhythm in the ongoing season and the "noise outside" doesn't affect him personally. Despite the five-wicket haul, Bumrah has been able to take only 10 wickets in this IPL season from 11 matches. "Look we prepare for the tournament and we have our process, we don't look at the end result," Bumrah said at the post-match press conference after MI lost to KKR by 52 runs.
Virat Kohli recorded his third golden duck of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season against SunRisers Hyderabad on Sunday and once again a debate has started on whether the batter should take a break to rejuvenate himself. The idea was first floated by former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri, who has followed Kohli from close quarters. Whether the former India skipper needs a break was even discussed on-air by Harsha Bhogle, Matthew Hayden and Sunil Gavaskar while they were doing commentary for the match between RCB and SRH.
India will gear up for the ICC T20 World Cup with a home series against Australia featuring three T20 internationals in September later this year. According to a report in foxsports.com.au, "Australia will play a number of white ball series with home games against Zimbabwe, New Zealand, West Indies and England coming either side of three T20s in India in September." The series will serve as a preparation for the showpiece event to be held in Australia in October and November this year.
Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma was a frustrated man on Monday. After his team restricted Kolkata Knight Riders to 165/9 in 20 overs, a lot was expected of Rohit Sharma -- the batter. However, he could not contribute much. Rohit fell for just two off six balls in the first over of the chase, bowled by KKR pacer Tim Southee. More than the score, it was his dismissal that created a lot of buzz. To add to it, MI lost the game by a massive 52 runs for their ninth loss of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022.
Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma termed Jasprit Bumrah's maiden five-wicket haul in the IPL as a special effort but rued the performance of his team's batters, who failed to chased down a "par score" against Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday. MI rode on Bumrah's 5 for 10 to restrict KKR to 165 for nine but flopped big time with the bat, barring Ishan Kishan (51 off 43) to lose by 52 runs.

But I'm disappointed with the way we batted. I thought it was a par score on that pitch but it was a little poor from the bat from us," a disappointed Rohit said at the post-match presentation ceremony.
