Jasprit Bumrah's spectacular spell, which included three wickets in the 18th over, couldn't prevent defeat for Mumbai Indians • BCCI
Kolkata Knight Riders thrashed Mumbai Indians by 52 runs, but the star of the show - and a rare Player of the Match in a defeat - was Jasprit Bumrah. Here's a look at his numbers.
5 for 10 - Bumrah's figures were the best by any bowler against Knight Riders in the IPL and also the best figures overall this season. Also, his returns were the second-best for Mumbai behind Alzarri Joseph's 6 for 12 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2019.
2 - Bumrah's returns were the second-best in the IPL for a losing team. Only Adam Zampa, of Rising Pune Supergiants, had better figures in a defeat - 6 for 19 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016.
1 - Number of cheaper five-wicket hauls in the IPL than Bumrah's 5 for 10. Anil Kumble conceded only five runs in his five-for against Rajasthan Royals in the 2009 edition.
5 - Bumrah's effort was the fifth five-wicket haul recorded by a Mumbai player in the IPL. It's also the most number of five-plus wicket hauls for any team in the competition.
5 - All Bumrah's five wickets came off short and short-of-a-good-length deliveries. As per ESPNcricinfo's ball-by-ball data, it was the first time a bowler had claimed five wickets with those lengths in an IPL innings.
1 - Run conceded by Bumrah in the death overs in this game, the joint-fewest by a player while bowling two overs at the death in a T20 innings [where ball-by-ball data is available]. Tom Curran, of England Lions, also gave away only one run against Pakistan A in 2015.
18 - Dot balls bowled by Bumrah in his four overs, the joint-highest by a bowler for Mumbai in an IPL game. He equalled his own effort from the previous season, where he bowled 18 dots against Rajasthan Royals.
