IPL 2024: Spencer, Umesh, Mohit Overshadow Bumrah As Gujarat Titans Beat Mumbai Indians By Six Runs (Ld)
Indian Premier League: In a match of comebacks, Jasprit Bumrah made a sensational return to IPL action after a year, but his brilliant effort was overshadowed by two-wicket overs each by Spencer Johnson and Umesh Yadav off the last two overs as Gujarat Titans won a nerve-wrecking thriller by six runs to start their Indian Premier League 2024 campaign on a winning note at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Sunday.
The match looked going Mumbai Indians' way after Bumrah claimed 3-14 in a sensational display of pace bowling and David Coetzee took 2-27 to restrict Gujarat Titans to 168/6. With Rohit Sharma and Dewald Brevis hitting 43 and 46 respectively, Mumbai Indians looked cruising towards victory at the halfway stage after Hardik Pandya had won the toss and elected to field first.
Despite dew making things difficult, Gujarat Titans fought back brilliantly, and Mohit Sharma, Spencer Johnson, and Umesh Yadav bowled brilliantly in the death overs to snatch an unlikely victory leaving Mumbai Indians thinktank tearing their hair as they failed to win their first match once again.
