In a thrilling encounter between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI) in the IPL 2024 5th match, the game took an intriguing turn when Jasprit Bumrah, MI’s ace pacer, struck with a classic yorker soon after receiving some advice from former MI captain Rohit Sharma.
As Wriddhiman Saha stepped up to face Bumrah’s fiery deliveries, the tension was palpable. Bumrah, known for his lethal yorkers, angled one in at a searing pace of 140.6kph. The ball, delivered from wide of the crease, homed in on the blockhole with pinpoint accuracy.
The result was inevitable when the ball struck the base of the middle stump and sent it flying. With this wicket, Bumrah takes MI to a good start in this first over; it was a dazzling yorker.
The intriguing Bumrah or Rohit Sharma angle, on the other hand, makes this wicket even more fascinating. Just before this delivery, former MI captain Rohit Sharma offered Bumrah some advice. After decades of playing under Sharma’s captaincy, it was unusual to hear that Rohit had a few words with Bumrah. To put it mildly, these comments were outstanding, as Bumrah sent Saha back with a brilliant yorker.
