Jasprit Bumrah just dropped an 18th over more magical than your nan's Christmas pudding, and Faf du Plessis is here for it. Calling him a 'superpower' is an understatement; he’s like having a genie who grants wishes to any captain lucky enough to have him. England looked set to chase it down until Bumrah turned it into an absolute jaffa fest, leaving their batters bamboozled.

Du Plessis knows the value of having a weapon like Bumrah in the ranks, especially in a T20 World Cup semi-final where pressure is thicker than a village bowler's accent. With each ball, Bumrah's spell felt like a rollercoaster—one minute you're screaming, the next you're clutching your heart, wondering how on earth he does it. His ability to bowl yorkers that pin batsmen like a flailing fish is just next level.

As India eyes a spot in the final, you can't help but get giddy thinking about what Bumrah will conjure next. Will he keep the magic alive, or are we in for a twist worthy of a Bollywood blockbuster?
