Jasprit Bumrah’s masterclass spell and Gerald Coetzee’s two-wicket haul helped Mumbai Indians (MI) restrict Gujarat Titans (GT) to 168/6 in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. Bumrah conceded just 7 runs in his final over, ending his quota of four overs with figures of 3 for 14, while Coetzee bagged two wickets. For GT, Sai Sudharsan top scored 45 off 39 and Shubman Gill scored 31. Captain Hardik Pandya opened MI’s bowling and conceded 20 runs in his first two overs. In the fourth over of the match, Jasprit Bumrah drew first blood and gave his team a big breakthrough. MI started to feel a bit of pressure after GT got off to a flying start but Bumrah came to the rescue of the five-time champions with a toe-crushing yorker as Wriddhiman Saha (19 off 15) missed the ball that hit his stumps.
