IPL 2022: Flop XI from fourth week of the season

10) Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah is one of the few senior members in the Mumbai Indians squad who are not playing to their full potential. One can argue that it is a bit harsh to include him in the flop 11, however, being MI’s lead pacer, Bumrah has failed to make an impact. The Indian speedster did not pick up a single wicket in the eight overs he bowled in week four.

One argument in favor of Jasprit Bumrah is that, he has been economical with the ball. His teammates have failed to give him the support this season. But, the 28-year-old pacer could have bowled a much better 19th over against Chennai Super Kings.

He conceded 11 runs off that over, which includes two boundaries. Bowling in the death overs has been his forte over the years, and he does manage to pick up wickets in this stage of the innings. Being economical with the ball is surely ideal, but you surely expect one of the world’s best pacers to pick up wickets on a regular basis.
