At times, a player can soar to great heights in a tournament, but tides of fortune can swiftly turn, leading to a dip in form. Such was the situation in the game between Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians where Jasprit Bumrah’s brilliant ball left Sunil Narine stunned leading to his dismissal.

‌The atmosphere was electric at the packed Eden Gardens, where eager fans waited for the rain to relent. Finally at 9.15 PM, amidst anticipation, the game kicked off as a 16-over affair. Mumbai Indians' skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to bowl first on a challenging surface.

The crowd erupted as Phil Salt smashed a six off Nuwan Thushara's very first ball of the innings, setting an exhilarating tone. However, the excitement was short-lived as Salt was dismissed in the fifth ball of the over. Adding to Kolkata Knight Riders' woes, the dangerous Sunil Narine fell to Jasprit Bumrah in the next over.

In the subsequent over, Bumrah delivered a length ball on the off stump. Narine misread the line expecting it to pass harmlessly to the wicketkeeper. To his dismay, the late swing caught him off guard, shattering the off stump while his bat remained suspended mid-air in bewilderment. Bumrah's jubilant celebration reflected the significance of dismissing the dangerous Narine for a golden duck.

Social media platforms buzzed with admiration for Bumrah's impeccable delivery, capturing the attention of the Twitterverse in no time.
