Indian Express·3h ago·Hope
What Happened
Jasprit Bumrah took his first IPL 2026 wicket in his sixth game, dismissing Sai Sudharsan in Mumbai Indians' victory over Gujarat Titans. Captain Hardik Pandya clarified that Bumrah's limited opening overs reflect his value as a match-winner used strategically, not a captaincy issue. Bumrah finished with 1-15, while Tilak Varma's 101 off 45 balls secured MI's win.
