Wow! What a thrilling contest it was! Mumbai Indians (MI) have qualified for the playoffs with a superb win in t𒁏he super over against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)♉ at the Wankhede stadium on Thursday.
Jasprit Bumrah bowled a brilliant super over to restrict the visitors for just eight runs and then Hardik Pandya’s six off the first ball delivered by Rashid Khan just killed the game.

Taut game, among best I’ve seen. Hyderabad couldn’t make capital of opportunity created by Pandey. Credit to Bumrah. ♌Tight over under pressure. However, getting even 8-10 runs in Supe🔥r Over can be tough. hold nerve to make it to the play-offs. Well done Rohit & Co

Jasprit Bumrah is the Man of the Match. He bowled the tough overs during the act𒐪uaꦜl game and also the Super Over, where he conceded only 8 runs.

Super Overs are never e⛦asy. But batsౠmen must NOT run themselves out on 1st ball of the over! Because the next batsman has no freedom to play the rest of the over. It’s a fine line.. but do not run yourself out!

Another absolute cracker of a match…. this continue to keeps delivering 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
