In the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, match number 8 between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Mumbai Indians (MI), Jasprit Bumrah looked beautiful, but not with the ball; This time with a run out. As the fast bowler played a direct hit during his over to dismiss Nitish Rana, who was miles behind the crease.
This dismissal came when Rana gently tapped a full delivery down the leg side in the hope of an easy single. However, his reluctance initially proved costly. He was hesitant to start and was never able to get full speed while finishing the run, which gave Jasprit Bumrah a chance to take advantage.
Jasprit Bumrah creates beauty
Known for his ball-playing ability, Bumrah showed his alertness and agility. He attacked quickly, collected the ball cleanly, and then pivoted and hit it straight to the non-striker’s end, and Rana returned to the pavilion without scoring on three balls.
Jasprit Bumra has come to bowl, there will be a possibility of wicket. However, Bumrah’s record at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is not very good. But Jasprit Bumrah would like to change this record to win the game for MI, as the target is not high.

Jasprit Bumrah needs to shine against DC
Jasprit Bumrah has been in great form after finishing as the leading wicket-taker in the T20 World Cup with 14 wickets. Bumrah did not get any wicket in the first game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). KKR batsmen handled them well.
Bumrah has been one of the best bowlers in recent times, and has also been included by the India national cricket team. The fast bowler will try to take his first wicket in IPL 2026, as the success of Mumbai Indians this year will largely depend on his bowling.
MI made a good score
DC won the toss and decided to field first. Capitals go into the match with an unchanged XI from their win against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). However, MI made three changes, one of them a forced change, as their regular captain Hardik Pandya was unavailable due to illness, and Suryakumar Yadav took over the reins for the franchise.
Batting first, Mumbai Indians were reduced to 18/2 and Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav took charge and stitched a 53-run partnership for the third wicket for the five-time champions. The former was out on the score of 35 runs.
SKY scored a brilliant half-century in 35 balls. Vital contributions from Naman Dheer, Mitchell Santner and Corbyn Bosch helped MI post 162/6 in 20 overs. Now, DC are in good control despite two early wickets of KL Rahul and Nitish Rana. Score after 8 overs 52/2 and would like to chase the target.
