Three things in life can be taken for granted: death, taxes, and Jasprit Bumrah annihilating the stumps with unplayable yorkers. The Mumbai speedster was at it again on Thursday as he turned the game around with two early wickets, including the scalp of Rilee Roussow with a sensational yorker.

Mumbai Indians were on course to snap their losing streak in Mullanpur on Thursday after placing the Punjab Kings severely under the pump during their chase. The visitors had maraud their way to 192/7 courtesy of an explosive Suryakumar Yadav knock of 78 off just 53 deliveries before scalping five wickets within seven overs to be well and truly on top. Jasprit Bumrah, back to new ball duties, was the standout act once again with two wickets in his opening over one of which is set to be in contention for the wicket of the tournament.

Steaming in from over the wicket, the veteran quick floated a ball towards the stumps to rule Proteas Rilee Roussow into a drive. However, the Kookaburra swerved sharply in the air late in its trajectory before landing in the block hole and crashing into the stumps. 

Bumrah was understandably ecstatic by his effort while his counterpart stood there stunned, a sentiment echoed by Twitterati in marvel of the sheer genius of the 30-year-old.

What a ball!

Unplayble!
