Jasprit Bumrah's spectacular spell against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru was a sight to behold. The Mumbai Indians pacer was a standalone star for the hosts with the ball in an innings where 196 were scored by the Bengaluru batters at the Wankhede Stadium.
The pace maestro got a five-wicket haul in the first innings and played a crucial role in restricting the RCB line-up to below a hundred on what looked like a brilliant batting surface. He got the wickets of Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Mahipal Lomror, Saurav Chauhan and Vijaykumar Vyshak and was on a hat-trick twice during his spectacular figures of 21/5.
After MI comfortably sealed the game by chasing down 197 inside 16 overs, the two teams met each other for traditional handshakes. During the handshakes, RCB pacer Mohammed Siraj met his MI counterpart Jasprit Bumrah and bowed down to his Indian teammate.
