IPL 2017: Qualifier 1, RPS vs MI: 5 players to watch out for

#1 Jasprit Bumrah

Can Bumrah deliver again?

No matter how much good a pitch is for batting, if a bowler is able to spear in yorkers at pace, then there’s very little a batsman can dish out. Jasprit Bumrah has time and again manifested that toe-crushers can be a weapon to stem the run flow on any wicket.

A difficult batsman to get away, Bumrah has been right on the money for the Mumbai Indians while bowling in the death overs. When the likes of Brendon McCullum and Aaron Finch struggled to get bat to ball in their super over against Mumbai, one knows that there’s something special in store.

Bumrah’s cunning change of pace to complement his lethal yorkers will again be in requisite on a Wankhede wicket, which doesn’t offer much to the bowlers.
