Jasprit Bumrah, the fiery pacer from the Mumbai Indians (MI), has been making waves in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. His recent performance has been nothing short of spectacular, and all eyes will be on him as MI faces off against their arch-rivals, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.
Here’s a closer look at Bumrah’s form and his record against CSK:
Recent Form:
- Bumrah started the season a bit slow, but he has hit his stride in the last two games.
- In five matches, he has already claimed 10 wickets at an astonishing average of 11.90 and an economy rate that leaves everyone in awe: 5.95.
Restricting the Opposition:
- What stands out in Bumrah’s outings this season is his ability to stifle the opposition’s scoring. In the recent match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), he conceded just 21 runs in his four overs, even when RCB posted a respectable total of 196 runs.
Record Against CSK:
- Bumrah’s record against CSK has room for improvement. In 14 games against the five-time champions, he has managed to take only 12 wickets at an average of 34.
- His best innings figures against CSK are two for 10.
Previous Encounter:
- Bumrah’s last appearance against CSK was in 2022, where he bowled a tight spell, giving away only 12 runs in three overs. Chennai, in that match, was bundled out for a mere 93 runs.
Overall IPL Record Against CSK:
- Matches Played: 14
- Runs Conceded: 415
- Overs Bowled: 53.4
- Wickets Taken: 12
- Average: 34.58
