Bumrah's Thunderous Delivery Sends Klaasen Packing After a Fiery 21-Run Show!
20 days ago | 5 Views
In the match between the Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad on Thursday, the MI bowlers excelled in containing a formidable SRH batting lineup, restricting them to a mere 115 runs for 4 wickets after 17 overs. Just when it appeared that Heinrich Klaasen had shifted the momentum with a fierce assault on Deepak Chahar in the 18th over, Jasprit Bumrah made a timely return, showcasing his exceptional skill under pressure.
Klaasen had raced to 37 runs off 27 balls, delivering a powerful onslaught against Chahar that yielded 21 runs in a single over, thereby swinging the advantage towards Sunrisers. However, Bumrah, known for his composure, needed only one delivery to alter the course of the game.
Having just struck Chahar for two sixes and two fours, Klaasen was effectively dismantling the bowler's pace and line. The first six was a clean shot lofted over extra cover from a wide yorker, while the second was a leg-stump full toss that he effortlessly sent behind square. Chahar appeared unsettled, and SRH stood at 136 for 4, with Klaasen poised to propel them towards a score of 170.
Yet, Jasprit Bumrah, who had been strategically held back until this crucial moment, re-entered the attack with figures of 3 overs, 17 runs, and no wickets. His first delivery of the 19th over was a full toss, but not the type that batters hope for. Delivered at high speed, it curved in just enough to confine Klaasen, who had made space to target the off-side. He swung vigorously, aiming for another boundary, but was completely misled by the deceptive bounce and speed that Bumrah generates, even with full deliveries.
The off stump was sent flying—an exhilarating moment for bowlers. As the stump toppled, Bumrah celebrated in his signature style, having dismissed SRH's most dangerous batsman with a straightforward yet effective weapon: a fast, straight, and deceptive delivery.
