Bumrah's 114-ball dry run mirrors MI struggles

Mumbai, Apr 16 (UNI) Jasprit Bumrah's unprecedented 114-ball wicketless run has come to symbolise Mumbai Indians' struggles in the ongoing Indian Premier League season, with the team's inability to seize key moments mirroring their premier bowler's lean patch.
Bumrah, long regarded as Mumbai's go-to strike option, has gone five matches without a wicket, returning figures of 0/35, 0/21, 0/32, 0/35 and 0/41. While he has managed to maintain control in phases, the absence of breakthroughs has deprived Mumbai of momentum-shifting spells, particularly in crunch situations.
The scale of the drought is stark — Bumrah's 114 consecutive balls without a wicket is the longest by any bowler this season, with the next being Varun Chakravarthy at 54 deliveries, underlining how unusual this phase has been.
