IPL 2024: Jasprit Bumrah makes IPL comeback with stunning spell, Watch

Mumbai Indians (MI) pacer Jasprit Bumrah made a return to the competition with a stunning spell, restricting Gujarat Titans (GT) to just 168/6 in their 20 overs during the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday.

During the match, Bumrah was simply scintillating. After missing out on last season due to injury, it did not look like that the pacer was making his return after missing so many games. He took 3/14 in his quota of four overs, leaking runs at an economy rate of 3.50.

He took crucial wickets of Wriddhiman Saha, Sai Sudarshan and the ‘finisher’ David Miller. The yorker bowled to Bumrah was surely the biggest highlight.

Now in 121 IPL games, Bumrah has taken 148 wickets at an average of 22.92 and a strike rate of 18.69, with the best bowling figures of 5/10. Just two more wickets will help him achieve the milestone of 150 IPL wickets, becoming the 11th player in the league to do so.
