Mumbai Indians pacer Jasprit Bumrah was on fire on Sunday with the ball in hand. The right-arm pacer returned figures of 4 for 22 in his quota of four overs as MI registered an easy 54-run win over Lucknow Super Giants at Eden Gardens. In the 16th over of LSG's chase, Bumrah boasted his high class as he picked three wickets in it while giving away only two runs. Bumrah continue in the attack and also bowled the 18th over in same rhythm. He bowled four dot balls and conceded just one single in his first five balls before being slammed by LSG spinner Ravi Bishnoi for a six.
It was a length ball from Bumrah and Ravi Bishnoi hit it into the stands over the long-on for the biggie. The six drew funny reactions from the players around. While Bishnoi pumped his fists looking at Bumrah, the MI pacer was left smiling over it. LSG captain Rishabh Pant too could not hold his laugh.
