Jasprit Bumrah’s best bowling performance in the Indian Premier League earned praise from legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and current India head coach Ravi Shastri.

Bumrah who picked up 4 for 20 against Rajasthan Royals – his best figures in the IPL – played a pivotal role in MI’s comfortable victory over RR by 57 runs, that took them to the top of the IPL 2020 points table.

Bowling with the new ball for the first time in this year’s IPL, Bumrah set the tone upfront for MI taking just four balls to get his first wicket of RR captain Steve Smith.

This was the 3rd time Bumrah dismissed Smith in 6 innings.
