Watch: Internet in Awe as Mohammed Siraj Literally Bows Down to Jasprit Bumrah Masterclass
The fast bowler of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Mohammed Siraj, turned into a fanboy as Jasprit Bumrah's masterclass proved to be the difference-maker for the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League 2024 match on Thursday. Bumrah gave away just 21 runs in his quota of 4 overs while picking up 5 wickets as MI restricted RCB to 196/8 at the Wankhede Stadium. As fans all across the globe doffed their hats to Bumrah, even his counterpart on the day, Mohammed Siraj, gave the senior pacer his regards by bowing down in front of him after the match.
In a high-scoring match where other fast bowlers of Mumbai Indians like Gerald Coetzee, Akash Madhwal, Romario Shepherd, and Hardik Pandya conceded over 10 runs per over, Bumrah operated at an economy rate of 5.20. If it wasn't for Bumrah's masterclass on the field, RCB might have gone on to score over 220 runs in the match.
Here is the video.
Mohammed Siraj, who is Bumrah's teammate at the national level, on the other hand, leaked 37 runs in 3 overs without picking a single wicket. After the game, as Siraj had the opportunity to meet Bumrah, he bowed down in front of the MI superstar.
