Jasprit Bumrah dismisses Virat Kohli
Virat did not appear in his best of touch as he came out to bat against Mumbai Indians. He once again became a target of Bumrah in the third over. Kohli appeared clueless against the premium pacer and as a result, misjudged a delivery that took an edge of his bat and went straight to the safe hands of Ishan Kishan.

Virat vs Bumrah head-to-head
Across 16 innings, Bumrah has dismissed Virat five times and has only given away 140 runs. Bumrah is one of the very few bowlers that has been quite successful against the former Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain.
