Jasprit Bumrah produced a brilliant delivery to dismiss Virat Kohli during the IPL 2024 match between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday. The battle between the two Indian cricket team superstars was something that all fans were waiting for but it was the fast bowler who had the last laugh. Kohli had a somewhat shaky start to his innings and he had no answer to a sharp in-swinger from the fast bowler. The ball pitched just short of good length and shaped back rapidly to leave Kohli struggling. The star batter ended up getting a prominent inside edge on the ball and Ishan Kishan completed a diving catch behind the stumps to end his stay at the crease for just 3.
Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to field.
The hosts made just one change in their playing XI with Shreyas Gopal replacing Jasprit Bumrah. Suryakumar Yadav was not named in the playing XI but considering the fact that MI will be batting second in the match, the explosive batter is expected to come as the Impact Player for his team.
On the other hand, RCB made three changes to their side with Will Jacks making his debut for the franchise while Mahipal Lomror and Vijaykumar Vyshak coming back to the playing XI.
