MI vs LSG IPL 2025: Mumbai Indians' star pacer Jasprit Bumrah made a brilliant comeback on Sunday as he helped the Mumbai-based franchise maintain their dominance as they are inching closer towards the IPL 2025 playoffs. Mumbai Indians defeated Lucknow Super Giants in their backyard on the back of Jasprit Bumrah's brilliance, who was at his absolute best.
While defending a mammoth target of 215 runs, Bumrah rattled LSG's middle-order batting lineup in one over and helped the hosts win the match by 54 runs. Bumrah bowled during the 15th over and dismissed batters like David Miller, Abdul Samad, and Avesh Khan within just five balls.
The three balls in which Bumrah took wickets, showed signs of how he was going back to his old self after coming from a long-injury layoffs, which he sustained during the five-match Test series against Australia. He had bowled a full toss to David Miller, who has been going through a lean patch in IPL 2025. Miller mistimed the shot and Corbin Bosch, who was standing at mid-wicket took the stunning catch.
Bumrah then dismissed Abdul Samad. He had bowled a slower yorker, which hadn't touched the length of the bat. It was a fuller delivery but Samad too mistimed the shot as he had hit the bat into the ground and missed the ball, which had then hit the stumps.
Bumrah took his third wicket during the same over as he had bowled a fuller delivery to Avesh Khan and thus the tail-ender failed to defend the ball.
The Rishabh Pant-led side, who still tried to put up a fight after scoring 140/5 during the 15th over, were reeling by 142/8 during the 16th over.
After that, the Lucknow-based franchise was skittled out for just 161 runs in 20 overs.
