The 27-year-old came back to bowl the 11th over when his team was under pressure. But Faf du Plessis welcomed him with a couple of sixes off the first two balls. Although Jasprit Bumrah managed to dismiss Moeen Ali in that over, he still ended up conceding 17 runs.

The 17th over of the innings that Jasprit Bumrah bowled was his most expensive. He conceded 21 runs as Ambati Rayudu and Ravindra Jadeja went after him. A no-ball and a four off the free-hit delivery didn't help Bumrah's cause either.

He bounced back, comparatively, in the 19th over, where he gave away just 10 runs. Jadeja hit the lone boundary in this over with a glance towards the fine-leg region.
