Mumbai Indians fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah claimed a brilliant five-wicket haul after producing a sensational bowling performance against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday. The Indian cricket team star looked in red hot form as he dismissed Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Mahipal Lomror, Saurav Chauhan and Vijaykumar Vyshak to complete his second five-wicket haul in his IPL career. He was on the verge of taking a hat-trick on two different occasions during the match. However, that was not to be but the celebration of Bumrah along with Rohit Sharma after completing the five-wicket haul has gone viral. (IPL Points Table)

"It was a good day. One of those days where what I was executing was working. Wicket looked sticky (early on). Disappointed with my last ball. When the first over was bowled, I realised ball was gripping a bit. Wanted to bowl a good hard length. I've been doing this for 11 years, so I'm used to it," Bumrah said.
"What happened at the end was dew set in and it got better to bat on. Don't want to get too high or too low with good and bad days. This game is a great leveller. Want to keep working hard. The wicket did get better. DK played a special knock. Over here, it's tough to stop someone when they get going."
Despite Bumrah coming up with one of the best bowling shows in IPL 2024 till now, RCB were able to post a total of 196 for the loss of eight wickets. Faf Du Plessis was the top-scorer with 61 followed by Rajat Patidar who scored a much-needed half-century to provide perfect support to the RCB skipper.
The late flourish was provided by Dinesh Karthik who remained unbeaten on 53.
