Bumrah’s Brilliance Ends Klaasen’s Onslaught in Style
During Mumbai Indians clash with Sunrisers Hyderabad on Thursday, MI bowlers delivered a disciplined performance, restricting SRH to just 115/4 after 17 overs. The tide seemed to shift in the 18th over when Heinrich Klaasen unleashed a brutal assault on Deepak Chahar, hammering 21 runs off the over and racing to 37 off 27 balls. The momentum swung towards SRH, who were poised for a strong finish at 136/4.
Klaasen looked unstoppable, smashing two sixes and two fours—one a lofted drive over extra cover and another a pulled shot behind square. But just as the pressure mounted on Mumbai, Jasprit Bumrah was reintroduced and showcased his unmatched class under pressure.
Returning with figures of 3-0-17-0, Bumrah needed only one ball to change the game. He delivered a searing full toss that tailed in just enough to cramp Klaasen, who had moved across to open up the off side. The South African swung hard but was deceived by the pace and skiddiness—his off stump sent flying.
