Mumbai Indians’ sensational bowler Jasprit Bumrah produced the worst figures ever in the shortest format of the game as he was taken to cleaners by Chennai Super Kings’ batting superstar Ambati Rayudu.
Talking about Jasprit Bumrah’s performance, after having six decent outings in IPL 2021, Bumrah endured a match to forget. He bowled his most expensive spell in the history of the Indian Premier League. The speedster gave away 56 runs in the four overs he bowled and was smashed to all the corners of the ground by CSK’s batsmen, especially Ambati Rayudu.
Though Bumrah was coming off a neat bowling performance against RR, where he picked up 1/15 from 4 overs, however, Bumrah returned his worst bowling figures in the IPL. He was taken to the cleaners, first by Moeen Ali and Faf du Plessis, and later by Ambati Rayudu as CSK posted a competitive target.
Rayudu once again came to CSK’s rescue as he blazed away to a 27-ball 72 runs to help his team post a competitive target of 218 runs, helping his team score 82 runs in the last five overs. The target seems to be out of MI’s reach.
Meanwhile, fans on social media went berserk as soon as Bumrah bowled the most expensive over and started trolling him left, right and center on Twitter. There were many who came up with hilarious memes and jokes while trolling the bowler for his poor performance.
Here, check out the reactions of Twitterati on this:
What a knock from Ambati Rayudu, 72 runs from just 27 balls including 4 fours and 7 sixes at a strike rate of 266.7 against a bowling attack lead by Bumrah.
