Jasprit Bumrah is the vaccine that can cure any illness for bowling side: Varun Aaron
Former India cricketer turned commentator Varun Aaron has showered massive praise on fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, comparing him with a vaccine. Bumrah has been in marvellous form ever since his return to action after three months in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025).The speedster has orchestrated several thumping victories in the ongoing season, playing one of the biggest roles in their run to Qualifier 2 so far. Bumrah's game-changing prowess was once again on display in the Eliminator fixture against Gujarat Titans as he dismantled Washington Sundar's stumps with a toe-crushing Yorker to help Mumbai Indians (MI) make a comeback into the his remarkable performances, Vaurn Aaron came up with a unique 'vaccine' analogy for Bumrah, calling him the cure for every illness of the bowling team. 'He's like an antidote, a vaccine that can cure any illness, which a bowling side can have. If you want wickets, he comes and gets you wickets. If you want to stop runs, he stops runs for you. Man, what a bowler,' Aaron said on ESPNCricinfo 'Timeout'.Furthermore, Aaron mentioned how Burmah calmed a flustered Mahela Jayawardene on the boundary line by assuring him of a comeback when the game was slipping away from MI's grasp.'And the belief he has in his ability. You have an international coach Mahela Jayawardene, who is obviously panicking because his bowlers have suddenly started to go to the cleaners, and he just turns around and is like 'just calm down, I'll do the job for you'. Comes in, runs in, gets hit for a six and then gets that ball,' said the ongoing season, Bumrah has scalped 18 wickets from 11 innings at an average of 15.33 and an economy of 6.36. He will be eager to continue his form as MI will next take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Qualifier 2 on Sunday, June 1 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Jasprit Bumrah faces backlash from fans over icy reaction after hitting Abhinav Manohar
Jasprit Bumrah's full-toss hit Abhinav Manohar below the stomach. New Delhi: Mumbai Indians' bowlers delivered a strong performance against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday, limiting them to 143/8 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium despite favorable batting conditions. Trent Boult led the bowling attack with four wickets, supported by Deepak Chahar's two. Jasprit Bumrah's single wicket, which dismissed Heinrich Klaasen, proved particularly significant. Bumrah's aggressive bowling consistently pressured the SRH batsmen, who struggled throughout their innings. A 31-year-old bowler's full toss struck Abhinav Manohar in the abdomen. However, the subsequent reaction drew more attention than the injury itself, particularly given Manohar's previous six off Bumrah in the preceding over. In the second to last over, Jasprit Bumrah, yet to take a wicket, bowled a significantly inaccurate yorker that struck Manohar in the abdomen. Manohar fell to the ground, but Bumrah showed no concern, immediately returning to his bowling position. The Indian fast bowler's response drew criticism. — Nihari Korma (@NihariVsKorma) April 23, 2025 #IPL2025 SRH vs MI – is Bumrah becoming arrogant? His Yorker hit Abhinav Manohar in the stomach and he casually walked away without even on single expression of concern for the batter. — BlueChalkMusings (@BlueChalknBoard) April 23, 2025 Bumrah needs to grow some maturity as a human being …. he should at least have checked if Abhinav Manohar is okay after hitting him badly with that full-toss beamer. #SRHvsMI — Chaitanya ˢ ˢ ᵀʰᵃᵐᵃⁿ (@kkchaitanya9999) April 23, 2025 I think Jasprit Bumrah should've checked on the Abhinav Manohar instead of just turning and walking away. Do all bowlers usually react like this or Bumrah only ?#SRHvMI #MIvSRH #SRHvsMI — Niharika Fraser Stubbs (@McGurk_Tristan) April 23, 2025 Sorry to say but bumrah is not a sport. Observed it multiples times now When someone hits him up specially sixes, he gets angry towards that player. Previously karun, now manohar, after full toss did not even bother to check on him, because he had hit a six off him. #SRHvsMI — रजत Jain (@rbainara) April 23, 2025 Manohar's impactful late-innings contribution of 43 runs from 37 balls, coupled with a vital 99-run partnership with Heinrich Klaasen (71), prevented Sunrisers Hyderabad from a low score. Klaasen's innings of 44 balls, featuring nine fours and two sixes (strike rate 161.36), contrasted sharply with his teammates' performances. Manohar adopted a cautious approach initially, before increasing his tempo later in his innings, hitting three sixes and two fours before being dismissed in the final over.
