Mumbai Indians pacer Jasprit Bumrah required just nine balls to take five wickets against Kolkata Knight Riders at the DY Patil Stadium on Sunday. Bumrah's record-breaking spell of 5/10, which included a triple-wicket maiden left everyone in the stadium, including Bumrah's wife Sanjana Ganesan also hyped!

As soon as Bumrah completed the best bowling figures of his IPL and T20 career, Sanjana came up with a tweet that perhaps summed up the emotions of every Mumbai Indians fan. 

"Holy moly! My husband is fire," wrote Sanjana on Twitter.

Meanwhile, on Instagram, she uploaded a picture of herself, showing the five fingers of her hand, signifying the five-for registered by her husband. 

Earlier, Bumrah had only managed 5 wickets throughout the ongoing IPL 2022 season, however, he only needed nine balls across two overs to double his tally of wickets for the current campaign. 

However, despite the pacer's best-ever T20 effort, he couldn't guide Mumbai to a win as they suffered a demoralising 52-run defeat at the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders.

While Bumrah hunted down Nitish Rana and Andre Russell in the 15th over of KKR's inning, he bowled a triple wicket maiden in the 18th over to turn the momentum in his side's favour. 

KKR's bowlers though had the last laugh here as Pat Cummins' three-wicket haul combined with a poor show from Mumbai Indians' batters handed them their ninth defeat of IPL 2022.
