Jasprit Bumrah vs Virat Kohli is always a battle cricket fans look forward to when Mumbai Indians take on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League and the pacer trumped the batsman again for the fourth time in the history of the league.

Bumrah dismissed Kohli trapping him in the front of the wickets for 33 as he brought back his side into the game after Glenn Maxwell and himself were taking the game away from the Mumbai team. 

Kohli and Maxwell forged a 52-run partnership off just 40 balls to help RCB come back into the game after they lost a couple of early wickets. However, it was Bumrah again who was responsible for Kohli's undoing.

Kohli shuffled too far across and missed a pretty straight delivery as he got beaten for pace. He got struck on the front knee roll in front of the middle stump and Kohli didn't even think twice to return to the pavilion.

Kohli's wicket caused a mini-collapse for his side as RCB lost a couple of wickets more in quick succession. However, AB de Villiers kept them in the game, with a couple of good boundaries off leg-spinner Rahul Chahar.
