Till a few years ago, India had never possessed a bowler who could bowl well in the death overs. But, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah, it seems like they've stuck gold and they could now claim to have the best death bowlers in the world. Mumbai's 23-year-old sensation proved exactly why he is held in such high regard by the team management, in the match against Gujarat Lions.

40 overs could not separate the two sides and it was down to the super overs to determine a winner. James Faulkner bowled well to restrict Mumbai to just 11 runs and set Gujarat a relatively easy target of 12 runs. The Indians needed a miracle to bail them out, and up stepped Jasprit Bumrah. He started off poorly, giving away 2 extras, but what followed was pure magic.

He restricted the devastating pair of Brendan McCullum and Aaron Finch to just 6 runs including the two extras to ensure a memorable victory for the visitors. This over perfectly complemented the 2 wickets he took in his four overs during the match.
