#1 Fearless Josh Inglis launches onslaught against MI's trump card Jasprit Bumrah

PBKS keeper-batter Josh Inglis came out all guns blazing in the run chase, counter-attacking the MI bowlers right from the word go. While batters generally look to play out Jasprit Bumrah's over, Inglis didn't even spare the star speedster.

Bumrah was brought into the attack in the fifth over. His spell kicked off with Inglis hitting him for a four towards midwicket. He dished out an off-cutter on the slower ball.

Inglis got hold of it and dispatched it for a humongous six over the long fence. He struck yet another four off Bumrah's bowling, countering a full delivery with a fantastic flick shot.

The swashbuckling batter also had luck favoring him as even a top edge went over the third man for a maximum. MI's pace spearhead ultimately ended up conceding 20 runs from his first over.

Inglis set the tone for the run chase with his early blitz. He struck two sixes and five fours, finishing with 38 runs off 21 deliveries.

Ashwani Kumar was tasked with the responsibility of bowling the 19th over when MI needed to defend 23 runs off 12 balls. He started the over with a full delivery on the off stump.

Iyer latched onto it and sent it sailing for a six over long-on. To make matters worse for Mumbai, the youngster followed it up with a no-ball. The subsequent free hit also went for a maximum, with Iyer choosing to go over long-off on this occasion.

He finished the game with two more sixes in the same over, taking his side home with six balls to spare.
