Key Highlights:
Jasprit Bumrah produced a sensational performance with the ball to dismantle Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in a high-stakes IPL 2025 encounter. The pace spearhead claimed 4 wickets for just 15 runs in 3 overs, engineering a dramatic LSG collapse and reaffirming his status as one of the finest death-over specialists in world cricket.
His over at the death, delivering back-to-back yorkers that uprooted stumps, left the crowd stunned and LSG reeling from 18/1 to 142/8.
The Dismissals That Changed the Game
Bumrah’s spell started with a slice of fortune but quickly turned into a calculated demolition:
- 2.4 – Aiden Markram (18/1): A 141kph length ball on the pads was flicked straight to deep square leg. Not the bowler’s dream wicket, but crucial nonetheless.
- 15.2 – David Miller (141/6): Bumrah returned and followed Miller with a shin-high full toss. The left-hander mistimed the flick, and deep midwicket made no mistake.
- 15.5 – Abdul Samad (142/7): A vintage Bumrah special – a 122kph slower yorker that cleaned up Samad’s middle stump.
- 15.6 – Avesh Khan (142/8): Bumrah cranked up the pace to 142kph, producing a near-perfect yorker that shattered the off stump.
The two wickets in two balls showcased not just Bumrah’s skill but his tactical genius, as he shifted gears with remarkable precision.
Jasprit Bumrah’s Final Spellcard
- Overs: 3
- Runs: 15
- Wickets: 4
- Economy: 5.00
- Dot Balls: 10
Whether it was pace, control, or deception, Bumrah had it all. His spell stalled LSG’s momentum just as they were looking to finish strong, turning the match dramatically in Mumbai Indians’ favor.
LSG’s Momentum Shattered
From a relatively stable position, LSG’s innings crumbled under the pressure of Bumrah’s variations. The lower-middle order was unable to recover from the twin yorker blows in the 16th over, and the team stumbled from 141/5 to 142/8, with very little batting left to offer resistance.
The collapse exposed LSG’s finishing frailties and reinforced the value of experience and quality in pressure moments — something Bumrah continues to deliver consistently.
What Lies Ahead
This performance adds yet another chapter to Jasprit Bumrah’s growing legacy in the IPL. As the tournament edges closer to the playoffs, such spells are not just match-winning — they are momentum-defining. Mumbai Indians will take confidence from this turnaround as they eye a deep run this season.
For LSG, regrouping after such a collapse will be essential if they are to stay in playoff contention.
