Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: In the 25th match of the Indian Premier League 2024, Jasprit Bumrah bowled brilliantly and dismissed 5 batsmen.
In the 25th match of the Indian Premier League 2024, Jasprit Bumrah bowled lethally and dismissed 5 batsmen of Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, on the strength of Faf du Plessis and Rajat Patidar's fifty and Dinesh Karthik's explosive half-century in the last overs, the Bengaluru team was successful in scoring 196 runs after losing 8 wickets in 20 overs. Karthik played an unbeaten inning of 53 runs in 23 balls.
Hardik Pandya won the toss and decided to bowl first. Royal Challengers Bangalore did not have a good start and Virat Kohli was out after scoring just 3 runs. England's ace batsman Will Jacques, who made his debut in the IPL, also could not do anything special and was caught by Tim David off the ball of Akash Madhwal. Rajat Patidar and Faf Du Plessis together took the team beyond 100. Patidar was out after scoring 50 runs in 26 balls.
Glenn Maxwell, the star all-rounder for Australia, was out again on zero after that, setting a disgraceful record. With Dinesh Karthik and Rohit Sharma, he became the player with the fewest number of outs (17) in the Indian Premier League. Alongside Du Plessis, Dinesh Karthik helped the team surpass 150 points. After dismissing Du Plessis, Bumrah gave the team its fifth victory. Four fours and three sixes helped Du Plessis score 61 runs in 40 balls. In the final overs, Karthik batted exceptionally well, amassing 53 runs without losing, and was a major contributor to the team reaching 196.
Jasprit Bumrah was the most effective bowler used by Hardik Pandya in this match. He claimed three wickets for 12 runs in the first three overs and two more wickets for seven runs in the final over. Bumrah claimed 5 wickets in 4 overs for 19 runs. In one over, Pandya conceded 13 runs, while Shreyas Gopal conceded 32 runs in four overs and claimed one wicket. Akash also proved costly, conceding 57 runs in 4 overs, while Gerald Coetzee conceded 40 runs in 4 overs. Mumbai must now score 197 runs to win.
