The Mumbai Indians kick started the 13th season of the Indian Premier League with a loss to CSK. However, amid all the action between KKR vs MI on Wednesday, a significant moment from the fielding came to light.
It happened during the twelfth final of the match when MI’s Kieron Pollard hit KKR’s Eoin Morgan. The ball went from Morgan’s bat to the third man’s region where Hardik Pandya jumped to cross the boundary. He was upset by Jasprit Bumrah’s outfield efforts as the latter was unable to stop the ball that ran past and left. A video of the moment was shared online. It shows that Bumrah ran to his left and reached out to reach out, but did not dive to stop him.
Pandya takes a strong step when he saw that the boundary fences were close and then he snaps inside the ropes. However, her impressive pursuit was in vain, as she could not prevent the ball from touching the boundary. Pandya is seen calling out Bumrah for his bad work after he threw the ball.
