Riding high after a dominant 54-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Mumbai Indians (MI) shared a fun, behind-the-scenes moment on their social media on Sunday. Captioned "I am going to give it to Booms" the video captured Trent Boult handing over the "Best Bowler" badge to Jasprit Bumrah, but not before some classic dressing-room banter and warm shoutouts to his teammates.
Starting off, Boult acknowledged Deepak Chahar, saying, "bowling in the Powerplay is not easy," appreciating his efforts with the new ball. Then came a cheeky comment directed at Will Jacks, who had dismissed two left-handers — Boult sarcastically called him "the left-hand specialist," joking, "loved to see you bowl to a right-hander."

Finally, Boult wrapped up the mini-speech with a big grin: "Obviously leaves me with Booms," before proudly handing over the badge to Jasprit Bumrah, who had delivered a match-winning spell of 4/22 to dismantle LSG’s batting.
The atmosphere captured in the video reflected MI’s rejuvenated spirit this season. After a rocky start where they lost four of their first five games, the five-time champions have found momentum, stringing together five wins in a row to storm into second place on the table.
In the match against LSG, Suryakumar Yadav (54 off 28) and Ryan Rickelton (58 off 32) starred with the bat, while Bumrah and Boult (3/20) led a fiery bowling performance to seal the comprehensive win. With the playoffs looming, Mumbai Indians look more united, dangerous, and determined than ever.
