RCB have seemed to have found a way to counter MI's Jasprit Bumrah

Royal Challengers Bangalore come up against three-time champions Mumbai Indians in Match 7 of the 2019 Indian Premier League and the encounter between these two franchises have never failed to amaze. Virat Kohli vs Rohit Sharma. While both teams brag of a balanced side coming into the clash, they have lost their opening encounters which makes them hungrier to claim those vital two points. 

While Mumbai Indians have the No.1 ODI bowler, Jasprit Bumrah in the squad, RCB have seemed to have found a 'Bumrah' of their own. From his accurate bowling to his unique action, a youngster named Mahesh was seen bowling in the nets with a similar action to that of Bumrah.

Mumbai Indians posted a video where both Bumrah and Mahesh were seen bowling side by side. Can you spot the difference? Take a look. 

The youngster is 22-year old Mahesh Kumar, a net bowler summoned by Royal Challengers Bangalore to try and get the batsmen used to the Mumbai Indians pacer.

With Jasprit Bumrah "ready and roaring" after an injury scare, Mumbai Indians would fancy their chances against an erratic Royal Challengers Bangalore when the two star-studded teams square off in the IPL on Thursday. The big subplot of the contest would be the world's best ODI batsman -- Virat Kohli -- taking guard against the world's best ODI bowler -- Bumrah -- in a format notorious for its unpredictability. Bumrah's shoulder injury was a cause of concern for the Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai but India's premier pacer seems to have recovered in time to be back in the fold.

 
Both teams will be eager to register their first win of the IPL and the onus will be on Kohli and Rohit, both of who failed with the bat in their respective opening matches.
