"Half fit Bumrah can eat Hazelwood+ Cummins+Starc at breakfast in all three formats (Anyday, anywhere)," wrote a fan.

"Bumrah is the greatest bowler of this generation and should be respected more rather than getting compared with likes of Starc, Archer," posted a fan.

"Bumrah is such a cheat code for MI," remarked a fan.

"There is Jasprit Bumrah and then, rest of the bowlers in this Generation," chimed in another.

Jasprit Bumrah missed MI's initial matches of the season as he continued to recover from a back injury. It didn't take long for the star bowler to be at his best as he decimated LSG's batting lineup with a match-winning spell.
