Even Jasprit Bumrah ineffective as SRH register 4th highest successful chase in IPL against MI

Mumbai Indians (MI) can’t just shrug off the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) hammering as an off day at the office. For a franchise with five Indian Premier League (IPL) trophies, Mumbai has so many off days that it’s quite frankly baffling. Post their 5th title in 2020, MI have qualified for the Playoffs just twice and finished in last spot twice.

They have some of the biggest names in their team – Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Jasprit Bumrah – but no result to show for it. Things haven’t been rosy since Hardik returned in 2024. Rumours of a rift inside the dressing room haven’t been proved, but something looks off-kilter from way away.

SRH take Bumrah on

Even after all of it, one thing was certain. That Bumrah will perform. He’s averaged under 20 in 3 seasons, and his economy has been under 7.50 in every year. But even he’s getting spared now. He’s taken 2 wickets in 8 matches. Against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Bumrah went for 54 runs in 4 overs.

He was hit for 5 sixes. Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klaasen hitting him is another thing, but when rather unknown Salil Arora deposits him over the boundary, you know something just isn’t right. Four bowlers bowled at least 3 overs for MI against SRH; of them all, Bumrah had the worst economy.
