“Phir main aur jor se marunga” - Jasprit Bumrah gives valuable advice to young fast bowler after RR vs MI IPL 2025 match [Watch]

Mumbai Indians (MI) star pacer Jasprit Bumrah was seen sharing advice with Rajasthan Royals (RR) fast bowler Tushar Deshpande. The interaction took place after their IPL 2025 clash at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Thursday, May 1.

Batting first, MI got off to a flying start, as openers Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton put on a blazing 116-run partnership in just 71 balls. Rohit struck a fluent 53 off 36 deliveries, while Rickelton scored 61 from 38 balls.

The momentum continued with Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya accelerating in the latter half — both finishing unbeaten on 48 off just 23 balls — to take MI to an imposing total of 217/2 in their 20 overs.

In reply, the hosts struggled and were skittled out for just 117 in 16.1 overs, suffering a crushing 100-run defeat that effectively ended their hopes of qualifying for the playoffs.

After the game, Jasprit Bumrah was seen offering valuable advice to RR pacer Tushar Deshpande, with Dhruv Jurel also present during the exchange. In a video shared by the Rajasthan Royals' X handle, Bumrah can be heard saying:

“Aur thoda mindset wise aggressive rehna hai. Aggressive in the sense, aisa nahi ke har ball pe danda uda do. But, main na acha ball dalunga par main out karunga. Chal maar le, ek chakka marle, kitna marega? Tu mar, theek hai, phir main aur jor se marunga. [And we need to be a bit more aggressive in terms of mindset. Aggressive doesn’t mean trying to take a wicket with every single ball. It means thinking, ‘I’ll bowl a good ball, but I’ll get you out.’ Go on, hit it, hit a six—how many can you hit? You hit me, fine, I’ll come back even harder]."

Tushar Deshpande has had a quiet season so far, managing only six wickets in eight matches.

However, since making his comeback, the pacer has been impressive, taking 11 wickets in seven games at an average of 17.72 and an economy rate of 6.96. The Mumbai Indians sit atop the points table with 14 points from 11 matches.
