betvisa888 cricket betTwitter Reactions: Jasprit Bumrah steals KL Rahul’s thunder to keep Mumbai Indian’s play-off hopes alive

Jasprit Bumrah snapped up three crucial wickets in the death overs as defending champions, Mumbai Indians, kept their play-off hopes alive by notching up a thrilling three♊-run win over Kings XI Punjab in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Wednesday.

Chasing 187 to win, KL Rahul blasted 10 fours and three sixes in his 60-ball 94-run innings and shared a 111-run second wicket partnership with Aaron Finch (46) to take Punjab to the brink of a successful run-chase but Bumrah’s brilliance in the second spell derail the chase.

Earlier, West Indian power-hitter Keiron Pollard finally found his groove with a fiery 50 to bail Mumbai 𒊎out of trouble and post a challenging total of 186/8.

Here is how Twitterati reacted to MI’s win over KXIP:

Magnificent innings from KL Rahul. He had been magnificent and feel for him but Kings 11 have simply not been good enough in the crucial phases. Mumbai owe thi🌊s to Bumrah. Top spell

Bumrah’s 17th and 19th overs….didn’t concede a single boundary in his spell of four overs in a high scoring encounter on a flat pitch. Well done 👍
