Bumrah is India’s main fast bowlerJaspreet’s dangerous yorker is well known
Bridgetown. Former Indian batsman Sanjay Manjrekar has praised Jaspreet Bumrah. Bumrah is currently playing an important role in the victory of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup. Seeing his sharp bowling, Manjrekar, who is currently playing the role of a commentator, says that Team India is lucky to have a bowler like Jaspreet Bumrah. Who is miles ahead of other bowlers in international cricket.
Jasprit Bumrah took 3 wickets for 7 runs in four overs in the first match of the T20 World Cup Super Eight stage against Afghanistan (IND vs AFG). India won this match by 47 runs. Sanjay Manjrekar told ESPN Cricinfo, ‘He did not give fours in many matches. Look at the difference between him and the rest of the fast bowlers. If you look at the rest of the top bowlers in the world, there is a difference between Bumrah and them. India is lucky to have a bowler like Bumrah.’
Bumrah conceded very few fours and sixes in the entire tournament
Former Indian captain Anil Kumble said, ‘It shows how well he understands his bowling. He has studied against every batsman and is implementing the strategy accurately. This does not happen easily. He has given very few fours and sixes in the entire tournament.’ Regarding Suryakumar Yadav, Manjrekar said that India is getting benefit from his presence.
‘This shows what is the advantage of having Surya’
According to Kumble, ‘India has one of the best T20 batsmen in the world. When a bowler like Rashid Khan is in form on a difficult pitch, then one realises the advantage of having Suryakumar in the team. He is not always in the pursuit of hitting sixes but also plays a restrained innings. ‘A batsman like Suryakumar is needed at number four. This puts pressure on the opposing bowlers because it is not easy to stop Surya from scoring runs.’
