The accuracy of his bowling at the Wankhede Stadium surprised everyone. He demonstrated his heavy bowling by taking 5 wickets.
Jasprit Bumrah then set a new record by becoming the first bowler to ever take five wickets against the Royal Challenge of Bengal. The best performance against this team came from Ashish Nehra in 2015, when he took four wickets for ten runs for CSK, but Bumrah has since eclipsed him.
Jasprit Bumrah has also surpassed RCB as the IPL’s highest wicket taker. Against this team, Bumrah has taken 29 wickets so far, while Sunil Narine has taken 24, Sandeep Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja have each taken 26 wickets.
In addition, right-arm fast bowler Jasprit became the fourth bowler in the IPL to take two sets of five wickets. James Faulkner, Jaydev Unadkat, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar had all taken five wickets in an innings twice before him.
With great enthusiasm and dedication, Jasprit Bumrah represented his game and presented the world with an example of his unique talent.
Jasprit Bumrah “No Ego” Remark said in the post-match presentation
“It is very difficult for the bowlers in this format. I try not to fall victim to a trick, I have worked on it at the beginning of my career,”
“People start lining up on you. I want to gain different skills. Bowling is tough because you have to take hits.” He said that preparation before every match is important and he did his homework before the match against RCB.
“When things didn’t work for me, the next day, I watched the video and analyzed what didn’t work. Preparation is always important. It’s important to keep motivating myself before the game.
“I’m very happy with the result. I would never say I wanted to take five wickets. The wicket was sticky and I’m very happy with the contribution.”
“You don’t always have to bowl yorkers, sometimes you bowl yorkers, sometimes short balls. There is no ego in this format. You bowl at 145 kmph,” Bumra said later in the match on Thursday. You can bowl, but sometimes it’s important to bowl slower.”
This “No Ego” statement of Bumrah shows his sensitivity and restraint. He always gives great importance to his bowling and works in the interest of the team.
