It was the best ball from Bumrah would as he send down a full toss, down the leg side but it was a change of pace delivery. Axar was forced early into his shot as he tried to flick it and was already through before the ball could even reach him.
The ball took the leading edge and lobbed up in the air as Suryakumar Yadav took a simple catch at extra cover.

Bumrah Will Bowl 150+ Soon: Gavaskar
India batting legend Sunil Gavaskar shared his thoughts on Mumbai Indians’ star pacer Jasprit Bumrah’s return. He noted that while the speedster bowled at his usual pace of over 140 kmph, his confidence would build with a few more games and he could soon hit the 150 kmph mark.
Speaking on Bumrah’s performance on JioHotstar, Gavaskar said, “The first and foremost thing was seeing him come in steaming and bowling at his usual pace – over 140 kmph. I believe that with a few more games under his belt, he’ll likely hit 150 kmph as he gains more confidence in his back and feels secure enough to bowl at full tilt."
“In T20s, where you’re not bowling long spells, it’s a lot easier for bowlers to stay sharp and bowl at full speed. That’s exactly what we saw with Bumrah. The way he bowled – if not for him – RCB might have scored 240–250," he added.
