[WATCH] Kieron Pollard Faces Difficulties Against Jasprit Bumrah’s Leg-Spin In Practice Sessions For MI

Mumbai Indians’ Jasprit Bumrah, known for his pace, surprised everyone with his deceptive googly, troubling MI legend Kieron Pollard during a nets session.

In a video shared by Mumbai Indians on Instagram, Bumrah bowled three deliveries to Pollard, all appearing to be googlies. While Pollard managed to punch the first delivery towards the covers, he struggled with the second one, narrowly avoiding being hit on the leg.

In the end, the former West Indies superstar managed to hit Jasprit Bumrah down the ground on the final delivery, leading to a friendly banter between them about whether it would be caught in the deep or go for a six.
