Jasprit Bumrah's poor form in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2026 season continued as he went wicketless once again during MI's must-win clash against LSG on Monday at the Wankhede Stadium.
The star Indian pacer conceded 45 runs in 4 overs and failed to pick up a wicket as LSG posted a massive total of 228 runs in 20 overs. However, thanks to a century partnership from Ryan Rickleton and Rohit Sharma, MI eventually chased down the target with eight balls to spare.
Not only did Bumrah bowl at over 11 runs per over, but he also overstepped twice in the 14th over and gave away two no-balls.
The spell did not impress India legend Sunil Gavaskar, who was on commentary duty at that point. On air, Gavaskar said: "Do not tell me again. Do not tell me. Do not tell me that Bumrah has bowled a no-ball. That is not acceptable. That is not acceptable. You are a professional cricketer; it is not acceptable. Wides, yes, I understand, but no balls, no."
