Jasprit Bumrah has been a key cog in the bowling wheel of Mumbai Indians since 2013. Alongside Sri Lanka spearhead Lasith Malinga, Bumrah has dominated the death bowling department for Indians in the IPL.

"@mipaltan Great City Quality Franchise Flat wicket Don't have to play against @Jaspritbumrah93 Can't wait for @IPL 2020," Lynn tweeted.

To which Bumrah replied, "Haha, welcome to the team! @lynny50 You're still going to have to face me in the nets."

 

Lynn was bought by Mumbai Indians for his base price of INR 2 crore in the IPL auction on Thursday.
