#4 Pant’s frenetic knock ends with an injury scare to Bumrah

An entire nation skipped a heartbeat when Jasprit Bumrah clutched his shoulder on the final delivery of Delhi Capitals’ innings. India’s premier pacer had hurt his shoulder on his follow through and left the ground in pain. He didn’t even bat in that game and all of India was concerned as the World Cup is just two months away.

However, Bumrah was fully fit and raring to go in a couple of days. He played the game against RCB and was back to his brutal best as he picked up 3/20 to win Mumbai the game.

However, the game that Bumrah was injured, there was a certain Rishabh Pant smashing him all over the Wankhede stadium. Bumrah wasn’t the only one at the receiving end. Every Mumbai bowler was taken to the cleaners as Pant smashed a frenetic 78 off 27 balls which included seven fours and seven sixes.
