Mumbai: Former Australian all-rounder Tom Moody believes that Mumbai Indians did not use veteran fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah well in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) match on Thursday. Due to which Punjab Kings got a chance to recover from a very bad start in this match.

After taking the wickets of Sam Curran and Riley Russo in his first (second over of the innings), Bumrah dismissed the dangerous Shashank Singh, leaving the Punjab Kings, chasing the target of 193 runs, nine runs short. . He spent only 21 runs in his four overs.

Former Australian all-rounder Moody said in ‘Star Sports’ program ‘Cricket Live’, “Once again it was shown that the Mumbai team is largely dependent on Bumrah to change the course of the match. He bowled brilliantly in his first two overs and put Punjab Kings on the back foot. It was disappointing to see that the team did not get him to bowl again until the 13th over.”

“He is in great form right now,” he said. I believe that Mumbai Indians gave Punjab Kings a chance to make a comeback. If Bumrah had got to bowl one more over (at the beginning of the innings), perhaps the Punjab team would have been out of the race for the match at that very moment.”
