The match was in the 18th over, when everyone predicted that the match has gone to the Kings courtesy the destructive performance by the opener-keeper of KXIP, KL Rahul. He smashed the bowlers of Mumbai Indians to every corner of the ground and scored 94 runs in 60 balls. He smashed 10 fours and 3 sixes.

However, things changed as soon as Jasprit Bumrah, the ace bowler of Mumbai Indians stepped down to bowl the rest of the overs. His death bowling turned the tables as he took the wicket of KL Rahul and A.Finch. He was the man who broke the partnership of 111 runs and took the match by storm. He didn’t spare any free runs to the players of KXIP and won the match by 3 runs.

Currently, the team is sitting at the third position on the points table and is just a couple of wins away from qualifying for the playoffs.

Magnificent innings from KL Rahul. He had been magnificent and feel for him but Kings 11 have simply not been good enough in the crucial phases. Mumbai owe this to Bumrah. Top spell #MIvKXIP

Bumrah’s 17th and 19th overs….didn’t concede a single boundary in his spell of four overs in a high scoring encounter on a flat pitch. Well done ? #MIvKXIP #IPL

feel so sad for KL Rahul.. what a knock ! sending Axar Patel ahead of Yuvi and Manoj Tiwary was a crime.. sad decision that has cost them the game.. credit to another Indian star, Jasprit Bumrah.. best match of the tournament so far.. #MIvsKXIP #IPL2018

Jasprit Bumrah made all the difference in the end as Mumbai defeat Punjab by 3 runs. Bumrah needs to get MoM here, definitely.
But what stupidity to send Stoinis and Axar before Yuvraj. #KXIPVSMI— Akhil Kochhar (@akhil_kochhar) May 16, 2018

As the season has gone on, Jasprit Bumrah’s proficiency at the death has risen back. We so often forget he is only into the 3rd year of his international career. Spending time with Bhuvi..will only learn on how to manage shifts & breaks across formats.

Absolutely wonderful Bowling performance by Bumrah.. What an outstanding spell That was, Simply Superb ?
