The counter not only derailed the pursuit of GT, but also rekindled Bumrah’s fear factor.
It was not only the Yorker who will give the strikers of the Punjab Nights without sleep – it was also the celebration. Bumrah defeated Sundar with delivery, leaving the striker against Earth while the ball crashed in the stump. He was pumped and gave a rare look – a new addition to his arsenal.Bumrah rarely shows emotions on the ground and rarely famous a counter, but in the eliminator, he looked like a possessed man. He finished with 1 for 27 out of four letters – below his standards – but the Sundar’s counter has shot the trend in favor of MI. In a world where quisors get their due beyond talk -shows and podcasts, Bumrah should have hacked Rohit for the price of the match player.
At the start of the season, Bumrah missed four games – MI won only one. While some say that Mumbai is slow starters, it is clear: without Bumrah, their attack lacks bite. Since his return, MI has won eight of their next eleven games.Sunday, Bumrah will be on Shreyas Iyer and Co. Spirits. The Punjab has negotiated it well during their last meeting – marking 23 flows from its four overs and success with success 185. If they manage to keep it again, they will have a real chance. But the 24 Bumrah deliveries in a T20 match are gold dust for any captain.And mi skipper, Fhelik Pandya, knows. After the victory in Mullanpur, he said: “Each time you think that the game disappears, bring it (Bumrah). When you have that, it’s a luxury. It’s like the prices of Mumbai housing – it is so expensive. »»In the cricket circles, Bumrah was called “cheating code” and even “extraterrestrial”. He delivered India and MI on the biggest stages and won the praise of Legends of the Game.Mumbai’s Indian coach Mahela Jayawardene echoes this feeling: “There is certainly no concern on his return because his reputation herself behaves, and he was quite confident. He nailed these Yorkers. I remember that it was against RCB in a high score match; He made 20 points (23). It is a massive asset, given the experience it brings and the situations in which it launches us. »»Jayawardene is not the only one to have Bumrah in his team. After the end of India, the drought of the ICC title by winning the T20 World Cup in 2024, during a congratulations ceremony, Virat Kohli said: “That he decides what he wants to do with his schedule. We want it to play as long as possible. He is a bowling player once in a generation, and we are so happy that he plays for us. »»Without his injury problems, he could have been the next Test captain of India. But with his management of the workload, he did not receive this responsibility.
In the eliminator, he did not take transport to five titles, but the reception he obtained after Yorking Sundar was a resounding reminder that Jasprit Bumrah is all that is the superstar – as venerated as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma or Ms Dhoni.
