A tough day for the Mumbai Indians at their home ground at the Wankhede stadium as they clashed with the Sunrisers Hyderabad in their IPL 2026 game. Though the game eventually evolved into a high-scoring contest, one thing that will always be remembered is the expression of the former Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma watching Jasprit Bumrah go for the maximum.
Being sidelined with an injury, Rohit wasn't in the playing eleven, but was captured at the dugout looking at the Sunrisers batters clobber Bumrah around the park, and the visual of him covering his face in despair is something that quickly caught the attention of the camera and subsequently went viral across the social media platforms.
Bumrah's Struggle Continues
A reliable bowler over the years for the Mumbai Indians, Jasprit Bumrah is having a tough time in the Indian Premier League 2026. In the game against the Sunrisers, he gave away 54 runs in his four over quota without picking up any wicket.
It has been a rather tough run for the right-handed bowler this season, he has only picked up two wickets in the eight games that have been played so far and more concerning for Mumbai Indians, he is proving to be very expensive in the game, something we do not often see in the career of Jasprit Bumrah. He was even smashed over the rope by the likes of youngsters such as Salil Arora for big sixes.

Rohit Sharma's Reaction Goes Viral
The reaction of Rohit Sharma best captures the mood in the Mumbai camp as Bumrah was being carted all over the park. We can see the former Mumbai Indians captain covering his face in disbelief and anger as the match unfolded in front of him.
This moment has become one of the most talked about video clips from the match as fans have widely circulated it with many noting that it was a bizarre sight to witness Bumrah being tonked around like that.
Rohit has had to rely on the spearhead in many tough situations in the past but this season the team has struggled with its bowling and consistency. Bumrah's form will be the most significant worry for the Mumbai Indians given their current position in the points table.
