Bumrah has bowled 10 overs in the powerplay so far in IPL 2021, but has failed to pick up a single wicket. The Indian pacer wasn’t used in the first six overs in Mumbai Indians’ most recent game, 20-run defeat by Chennai Super Kings.
Speaking to ESPNCricinfo, Steyn said that with batsmen looking to take risks and score quickly in the first few overs, Bumrah will be able to make an impact.

I don’t think Mumbai Indians will bowl Trent Boult in the last four overs: Sanjay Manjrekar
New Zealand pacer Trent Boult was impressive up front against CSK as he was able to generate both seam and swing. However, at the death, he was taken to the cleaners by Ruturaj Gaikwad and Dwayne Bravo.
In that context, Sanjay Manjrekar reckons Mumbai Indians might be better off using up Boult’s overs early on and keeping Jasprit Bumrah and Adam Milne for the death.
Mumbai Indians will face the in-form Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday in Abu Dhabi.
