And on Sunday, the misfiring Bumrah goes up against one of his lesser favourite opponents in the IPL- Chennai Super Kings.
The 32-year-old has an average record by his high standards against CSK, having taken only 15 wickets from 17 matches at an average of 33.20 and an economy rate of 7.58.
Bumrah had a decent outing with the ball when the two sides met at the Wankhede just over a week ago, returning with figures of 1/31 from his four overs in a match where CSK scored over 200.
At the Chepauk, Bumrah has played only two matches so far, but has a slightly better record, having taken two wickets at an average of 20.50 and an economy rate of 5.85.
As MI’s playoff chances hang by a thread, the pacer will need to rediscover his best form for his side’s fortunes starting with the match against CSK tonight.
