IPL Records: 4 Best spells by Jasprit Bumrah in IPL

#2 Bumrah helps Mumbai win their third IPL

2017 IPL Finals

Mumbai Indians faced Rising Pune Supergiant in the finals of the 2017 edition. Mumbai were the firm favourites going into the finals because of the balance of their squad. Mumbai won the toss and chose to bat and had a horrible start as they lost their openers with just 8 runs on the board.

They kept losing wickets and could score only 129 on the big day. Pune were off to a sedate start, scoring 14 of the first two overs. Bumrah came into the attack and picked up the consistent Rahul Tripathi, who has been scoring briskly in the powerplay, for just three.

With 33 needed off 24 balls and 8 wickets in hand with MS Dhoni & Steve Smith at the crease, Mumbai needed a miracle to win. It was Bumrah who provided the magic by dismissing Dhoni. That set a panic among batsman as the run-rate increased. The decision to give death bowling duties to him ahead of the experienced duo of Malinga & Johnson also helped Mumbai win their third IPL crown.
