Jasprit Bumrah pulled off a bullet run-out to dismiss Keemo Paul in a match between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals on Thursday. Bumrah’s throw was appreciated by skipper Rohit Sharma as the wicket came in at a crucial point in the game.
The incident took place in the 18th over when Bumrah was bowling to Axar Patel. Patel hit the ball towards short-leg while Keemo Paul ran for a single but was sent back. Bumrah ran towards the ball, grabbed it and threw it to the stumps. Keemo Paul immediately knew that it was going to hit the stumps and it did.
It was an important match for both Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians as both the teams were looking for the two points to get at the number two position. Mumbai Indians eventually won the match by 40 runs with Bumrah taking two wickets to his name. Rahul Chahar took three from the four overs he bowled.
After winning the toss, Mumbai Indians opted to bat first and posted 168 runs on board. In Mumbai’s innings, Quinton de Kock also became an unfortunate victim of run-out when he went for a run but Suryakumar Yadav did not move on the other end.
Krunal Pandya and Hardik Pandya also played a crucial part in scoring runs for Mumbai as Krunal scored 37 runs and Hardik hit a quick-fire 32 runs. For Delhi, Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Axar Patel and Chris Morris were the only players contributed few runs with their bat, while rest of them were bowled for a single digit score.
