[Watch] Jasprit Bumrah's yorker sends back Venkatesh Iyer, uproots middle stumpĀ  in MI vs KKR IPL 2024 match

Mumbai Indians (MI) ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah came up with a perfect yorker to dismiss Venkatesh Iyer and bundle out Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match at Wankhede on Friday, May 3. As a result, Iyer departed for 70 runs off 52 balls in an innings laced with three maximums and six boundaries.

The dismissal came off the penultimate ball of the last over of Knight Riders' innings. Bumrah nailed a yorker as Iyer tried to shuffle it down fine leg. The left-hander missed the ball that uprooted the middle stump. The last over (five balls) yielded just two runs.

Bumrah continued his purple patch with the ball, returning with figures of 3/18 in his 3.5 overs. The speedster has bagged 17 wickets in 11 matches for Mumbai this season so far. He will look to continue his masterclass ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup, scheduled to be played in the US and the West Indies in June.
