Mumbai Indians reached their sixth Indian Premier League final with a 57-run win over Delhi Capitals in Qualifier 1 on Friday and once again it was Jasprit Bumrah who was the team’s main man.
After Mumbai set Delhi a target of 201, Bumrah along with Trent Boult snuffed out any hopes of the Capitals reaching the target early as Delhi were reduced to 0/3.
Captain’s dream, batsman’s nightmare: Jasprit Bumrah proves again he’s in a league of his own
Bumrah produced a magical spell bagging four wickets and conceding just 14 runs in his four overs as Mumbai Indians eased to the victory. This was the 26-year-old’s best bowling figures in the shortest format.
Some of his deliveries during the match left everyone in awe as the Gujarat pacer reiterated why he is among the best fast bowlers in the world currently.
With 27 wickets in IPL 2020, Bumrah has now taken most wickets in a season by an Indian bowler. Bravo’s 32 out of reach most likely but can go up to 2nd on the all-time list.

Way back in 2017 only two teams bid for Rashid Khan. SRH and MI. SRH won the bid. Imagine if they had bid more? Rashid and Bumrah in one team. Would have been unbeatable. Not like they are beatable now but still!! #IPL2020 https://t.co/0wDpNVS4c4

#Mi have played #DelhiCapitals thrice this season....and not even once the team from Delhi has managed to compete. They’ve merely participated in the contest. #Mi have bossed every single time. #IPL2020

If there’s one team that would want to delay the big IPL auction as much as possible, it’s MI. What a fantastic group of players they’ve got. Imagine having to retain just 3 or 5 out of Rohit, Bumrah, SKY, Kishan, QdK, Pollard, Boult & the Pandyas. #IPL2020

That Bumrah yorker to Dhawan was of the highest caliber.

Bumrah now holds the record for the most wickets by an Indian in a single season. The King claims his throne! #MIvDC

Jaw dropping fast bowling.
