Watch: Jasprit Bumrah turns 'leg-spinner' against big-hitting Kieron Pollard. What happened next...

NEW DELHI: Purple Cap holder of this Indian Premier League (IPL) season, pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has given nightmares to opposition batters, tormenting them left right and centre with his toe-crushers and lethal bouncers.

With 13 wickets in 7 matches, Bumrah has been in prolific touch and has looked absolutely unplayable.

But on Saturday, the ace Mumbai Indians pacer was seen in a different avatar as he turned leg-spinner during a net session and had a go at one of T20 cricket's biggest hitters Kieron Pollard.

And despite bowling spin, Bumrah still managed to floor Pollard, convincingly deceiving the MI batting coach.

In a video posted by MI on their social media handle titled -- Bumrah vs Pollard, with a twist -- both can be seen sharing a light-hearted battle in the nets.

With an economy of under 6 RPO, Bumrah has been the bowler to watch out for this IPL season. In the three wins, MI has secured so far, Bumrah has played a major role.

Mumbai Indians currently sit at the seventh spot on the points table and next play Rajasthan Royals in an away game.
