His comeback was met with a challenging start, as <strong data-start=\"633\" data-end=\"648\">Virat Kohli<\/strong> welcomed him with a six on the very first ball. Despite the early hit, Bumrah delivered a typically economical spell, though MI fell short, suffering a <strong data-start=\"801\" data-end=\"818\">12-run defeat<\/strong>\u2014their fourth loss in five matches.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"855\" data-end=\"1044\">\ud83d\udd0a \u201cHe\u2019s in good nick,\u201d said Jayawardene post-match.<br data-start=\"907\" data-end=\"910\" \/>\u201cHe\u2019s disappointed we couldn\u2019t get the win, but the pace and execution were right up there.

He executed well, and his control was excellent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1379\" data-end=\"1559\">The MI coach emphasized that while Bumrah had undergone extensive rehabilitation at the <strong data-start=\"1467\" data-end=\"1508\">BCCI\u2019s National Cricket Academy (NCA)<\/strong>, he needed match practice more than anything else.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1561\" data-end=\"1731\">\ud83d\udccc \u201cSunday was actually his first session bowling to batters again.
