Social media was abuzz after Jasprit Bumrah's match-winning spell. Several reactions and comments poured in as fans, as well as, former cricketers lauded the 'Yorker King' for his terrific display of fast bowling. Indian head coach Ravi Shastri was also in awe of the Jasprit Bumrah 4-20 vs Rajasthan spell. Ravi Shastri took to Twitter and appreciated Jasprit Bumrah's bowling and admitted that he enjoyed watching him bowl.
However, as always, Ravi Shastri was subjected to a lot of trolls as fans made memes to mock the Indian veteran. While some fans called out Ravi Shastri for not showering the same praise on Suryakumar Yadav, who also played a prolific innings of 79 from 47 balls, others tried to troll the Indian coach for his drinking habits again. Let's take a look at a few reactions.
Mumbai posted a massive total of 193/4 at the end of their 20 overs. Suryakumar Yadav scored a blistering 47-ball 79. Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya also chipped in with useful contributions. In response, Rajasthan got off to a horrible start as they lost Yashasvi Jaiswal, Steve Smith and Sanju Samson inside the first three overs itself.

The Mumbai bowlers were relentless in their attack and their fielders backed them up with some exceptional fielding. Jos Buttler was the lone wolf for Rajasthan who scored a 44-ball 70 while the rest of the batsmen had no answers to Mumbai's impeccable bowling. Eventually, they were bowled out for 136 and lost their third consecutive match.
Courtesy of their win over Rajasthan, the Mumbai outfit has now gone clear at the top of the Dream11 IPL 2020 points table with four wins in six games. Meanwhile, according to the Mumbai Dream11 IPL 2020 schedule, Rohit Sharm's side will next be in action on Sunday, October 11 against Delhi in Abu Dhabi. The Mumbai-based franchise will look to keep the winning momentum going by beating Delhi.
