Bumrah Turns Leg-Spinner, Deceives Pollard in Net Session

Jasprit Bumrah’s Versatility Shines as He Turns Leg-Spinner in Net Session

Jasprit Bumrah, the Purple Cap holder of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season, has showcased his exceptional bowling prowess with 13 wickets in just 7 matches. However, in a recent net session, Bumrah surprised everyone by donning the role of a leg-spinner and challenging one of T20 cricket’s most feared hitters, Kieron Pollard.

Despite the change in bowling style, Bumrah’s skill and accuracy remained evident as he deceived Pollard with a well-executed leg-spin delivery. The video of this light-hearted battle, shared by Mumbai Indians on social media, has garnered much attention.

Bumrah’s versatility is a testament to his exceptional talent and adaptability. While he has primarily made his mark as a fast bowler, his ability to bowl spin effectively demonstrates his all-around capabilities.

In the current IPL season, Bumrah has been a key contributor to Mumbai Indians’ success. With an economy rate of under 6 runs per over, he has been the most economical bowler in the tournament. His ability to control the run rate and pick up crucial wickets has played a significant role in MI’s three victories so far.

As Mumbai Indians prepare for their upcoming match against Rajasthan Royals, Bumrah’s versatility and match-winning abilities will be crucial. His ability to adapt to different situations and contribute in multiple ways makes him an invaluable asset to the team.

Faf du Plessis: The Unexpected Leg-Spin Wizard

Ahead of their first home match of the IPL season, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) players were stumped by a trivia question: who was the first current RCB player to take two consecutive 5-wicket hauls in T20s?

To everyone’s surprise, the answer was none other than their captain, Faf du Plessis. Back in 2011 and 2012, du Plessis achieved this feat in the South African domestic circuit with his leg-spin skills.

His second five-wicket haul was particularly impressive, as it included wickets of Quinton de Kock, Neil McKenzie, Dwaine Pretorius, Chris Morris, and Thami Tsolekile, all of whom represented South Africa.

Du Plessis’ bowling prowess extends beyond T20s. He has also picked up 2 ODI wickets and has a respectable bowling record across first-class, List A, and T20 cricket. In T20s, he has claimed 50 wickets at an average of 18.34 and an economy rate of 6.96.

Despite his bowling abilities, du Plessis has opted to focus on his batting in recent years. However, his teammates were quick to express their surprise and admiration for his leg-spin skills.

“Who bowls leg-spin? Faf? What!” exclaimed Virat Kohli. “Faf, I never expected you to do that!” added Dinesh Karthik.

As RCB prepares to take on Punjab in their first home game of the season, it remains to be seen whether du Plessis will showcase his bowling talents once again.
