3 - Bumrah's 3-7 takes Mumbai to IPL 2017 final

He bowled a maiden in the last over of the powerplay which included a fast in-dipper from wide of the crease to dismiss Robin Uthappa. He came back at the death to remove the top scorer of the innings Suryakumar Yadav and restricted KKR to 107. Mumbai qualified to their fourth final as they chased the target with 33 balls to spare.

Mumbai won the toss and chose to bat in the final. However, they could score only 129 on the big day. Bumrah though, had other ideas, as he got rid of in-form RPS opener Rahul Tripathi for just 3. The pacer wasn't done as he went on to dismiss MS Dhoni in the death overs, which played a massive role in Mumbai winning miraculously by 1 run.

Then, he came up with a fast bouncer and sent Marcus Stoinis packing in the same over. But the telling blow of the match was when Bumrah out-foxed Rahul with a slower one in the penultimate over and helped Mumbai stay alive in the tournament.
