MI vs DC: Aakash Chopra Hails Jasprit Bumrah's Match-Winning Performance For MI Against DC In IPL 2022

In the Mumbai Indians’ (MI) win against the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the IPL 2022 match on Saturday (May 21), Aakash Chopra named Jasprit Bumrah’s stint as a game-defining effort.

The Mumbai Indians limited the Capitals to 159/7 in Bumrah’s four-over session. The five-time winners then chased down the mark with five wickets and just as many balls to spare, finishing off a successful season.

Chopra named Bumrah as MI’s standout performer against DC, despite the speedster’s lackluster IPL 2022 performance. He continued:

“Jasprit Bumrah is his name, and what a man he is. The campaign has been a disappointment. You didn’t get as many wickets as you anticipated.

“It might be for a variety of purposes: the other bowlers aren’t fantastic, the team isn’t doing well, he’s bowled at various periods, and he’s only had the new ball in his hand just several occasions.”

“While walking away, Bumrah demonstrated his class. The opposition was held to 159 runs; 175-180 runs really should be made, but Bumrah prevented them.”

analyzes Prithvi Shaw’s dismissal by Jasprit Bumrah:

Chopra praised Bumrah’s bouncer for the removal of Prithvi Shaw, saying:

“He delivered a bouncer to Prithvi Shaw that made him unbalanced. It was the bouncer of the campaign because it was so good. It was wonderful how he discarded the man by falling him.”

“It was stunning how he disregarded Mitchell Marsh and gained the upper hand. And that’s not where he ended up; he took three wickets after hitting Rovman Powell’s stumps.

“Rovman Powell drove in runs, Mitchell Marsh posed a serious threat, and then there was Prithvi Shaw. If we look at these three wickets, Jasprit Bumrah has done a great job.”

MI’s worst-ever season in the cash-rich league came to an end with a famous win over DC at Wankhede Stadium. On Saturday, Mumbai Indians’ five-wicket victory guaranteed Delhi Capitals’ elimination from the IPL 2022 playoffs.
