Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya revealed his gameplan surrounding his star bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, who once again delivered a fine performance at the crucial moments and helped the five-time winners seal a 20-run win over Gujarat Titans in the Eliminator of the Indian Premier League (IPL). 

Sai Sudharsan and Washington Sundar were effortlessly digging into the 229-run target until Bumrah’s re-introduction left the latter on the ground with a toe-crushing yorker that crashed into the stumps. His pivotal last over of the spell saw him concede only nine runs and steer MI towards victory. 

Pandya jokingly compared Bumrah to the Mumbai Housing prices when asked how much he is worth to the team. “At one point in time, the game was even-stevens. I thought the wicket got better in the second innings. The way Jonny started, for him to make our debut for us, the way Rohit batted. He took his time. When you see important games, all these margins help.
