Mumbai Indians are firing on all cylinders after a poor start to their IPL 2024 campaign. They stormed to a comfortable seven-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday night to climb up to the seventh spot in the standings.
The foundation of their victory was laid by Jasprit Bumrah who took a five-wicket haul and thus became the first bowler in IPL history to do so against RCB. He surpassed the previous record of 4/10 set by Ashish Nehra in 2015.
Bumrah’s masterclass left Mohammed Siraj mighty impressed and it reflected in how the RCB pacer greeted his countrymate during the customary post-match handshake.
Siraj bowed down to Bumrah, a gesture to acknowledge the MI star’s excellent bowling figures of 5/21.
Twice during the contest Bumrah found himself on the verge of taking a hat-trick as he dented RCB’s progress before Dinesh Karthik’s blistering half-century propelled the visitors to a challenging total.
