Bumrah becomes MI's highest wicket-taker in IPL
Bumrah has now become the highest wicket-taker of Mumbai Indians in the IPL. The star pacer displaced his long-time mentor Lasith Malinga, with his first wicket, to attain this feat. Bumrah also has the second-most for a franchise in IPL history.
Miller
David Miller comes in as LSG's impact sub
LSG had to use a batter as an impact sub in their run-chase. Therefore, they extended their batting by replacing David Miller with Nicholas Pooran. Miller had a perfect stage to outshine MI, as he came in with LSG at 110/4. However, he departed for a 16-ball 24 before falling to Bumrah. Miller's knock had 3 fours but to no avail.
