When a fast bowler bowls a yorker, it's like watching a master craftsman at work which is both elegant and lethal. Mumbai Indians' Jasprit Bumrah showcased his skills once again by removing Delhi's established opener Prithvi Shaw with a perfectly executed yorker that dismantled the leg stump.

Chasing a mammoth 235 runs put up by Mumbai Indians, the visitors encountered an early setback as their key opener David Warner departed in the fourth over. Despite this, Prithvi Shaw and Abhishek Porel steadied the ship, guiding the Capitals to 46/1 by the end of the powerplay. Shaw showcased his abilities with the bat propelling the score to 94/1 in 10 overs with a blistering fifty off just 31 balls. However, Shaw's impressive innings came to a halt when Jasprit Bumrah stepped up to bowl.

In the last ball of the 12th over, Bumrah unleashed a pin-point yorker aimed squarely at the leg stump. The ball likened to a speeding bullet cut through the air with impeccable accuracy leaving Shaw helpless as it crashed into the leg stump uprooting it in the process. Shaw, visibly stunned by the delivery could only walk back to the pavilion with a sense of disbelief and disappointment.

The cricketing community, including the Twitterverse, erupted with admiration for Bumrah's exceptional delivery. 

What an yorker!
