- Bumrah dismissed Jaiswal once, maintaining a tight economy and control, especially during the powerplay.
This face-off is more of a tactical battle than a flashy one. Bumrah uses his pace variations and yorkers smartly, while Jaiswal looks to attack early with positive intent.

- Jaiswal has been RR’s most consistent batter this season with over 400 runs.
- Bumrah is starting to look like his old self — sharp, smart, and deadly, especially in crunch situations.
