Mumbai Indians (MI) registered their first win of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season after beating Delhi Capitals (DC) by 29 runs on April 7. MI bowlers didn't let DC keep up the run rate and Jasprit Bumrah led the charge with a searing yorker to DC batter Prithvi Shaw. The DC opener was looking to take the game on with 40-ball 66 before being dismissed by Bumrah.
Chasing a mammoth 235, DC were rocked early after David Warner departed in the fourth over with 22 on board. Shaw then added 88 runs for the second wicket with Abhishek Porel (31-ball 41) before Bumrah dismissed him in the 12th over. It was dipping yorker, angled in, which went past Shaw's defence and uprooted his leg-stump. Have a look at the video here:
