Bumrah’s Killer Yorker vs GT: A Turning Point in IPL 2025 Eliminator
Heroic Bumrah Leaves Everyone in Awe
He’s like a vaccine that cures everything,” said Varun Aaron, in awe of Jasprit Bumrah’s magical spell during Mumbai Indians’ Eliminator clash against Gujarat Titans. Bumrah’s figures of 1/27 stood out in a high-scoring thriller where the average run rate across 40 overs touched 11.20.
The Delivery That Changed Everything
The highlight? A fiery yorker in the 14th over that sent Washington Sundar’s leg stump cartwheeling and left the batter face-down. At that point, Sundar was cruising at 48 off 23 and looked set to chase the daunting 229 with Sudharsan.
“Bowling from that angle, especially to a left-hander, is incredibly tough,” said Aaron on ESPNcricinfo’s Time Out. “Washy expected something wide or in his hitting arc, but Bumrah surprised him with the perfect leg-stump yorker.
Tom Moody added to the praise, saying,
“Facing Bumrah is like playing a 16-over game instead of 20. His 24 balls are a constant threat. That yorker to Washington was simply unplayable.”
Moody emphasized how even set batters struggle against Bumrah’s accuracy, pace, and class.
Legends Weigh In
AB de Villiers applauded Hardik Pandya’s captaincy for using Bumrah wisely:
“Sai was batting well, but holding Bumrah back was a smart call. I told my son, ‘This game isn’t over until Bumrah finishes his spell.’ He proved why he’s the best once again.”
Manoj Tiwary added a touch of humor on Cricbuzz:
“If Bumrah hadn’t dismissed Washington, the game could’ve gone the other way. Just like Warne dreamt of Sachin, today’s batters dream of Bumrah’s yorkers!
