IPL 2018, RR vs MI: 5 reasons why Mumbai lost

#4 Bumrah loses his nerve, again

Jasprit Bumrah came into the tournament as one of the best bowlers in the death overs. However, his reputation has taken a lot of battering over the past fortnight. Firstly, he was taken to the cleaners by Dwayne Bravo in the opening game and today Gowtham and Archer got stuck into him.

After bowling a stupendous 17th over, Bumrah lost his nerve with 28 needed off 12 balls. He struggled with his line and length and was smashed for a couple of boundaries through the point region. To add to that, he even overstepped in the penultimate over. Bumrah’s 18-run over eventually cost Mumbai Indians the game.
