Bumrah is India’s premier fast bowlerJaspreet’s dangerous yorker is well known
Bridgetown. Former Indian batsman Sanjay Manjrekar has praised Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah is currently playing an important role in the Indian team’s victory in the T20 World Cup. Watching his sharp bowling, Manjrekar, who currently plays the role of commentator, says that Team India is lucky to have a bowler like Jasprit Bumrah. Which 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 hasn’t hit fours in many matches. Look at the difference between him and other fast bowlers. If we look at the rest of the top bowlers in the world, there is a difference between him and Bumrah. India is lucky to have a bowler like Bumrah.
Bumrah hit very few fours and sixes throughout the tournament
Former Indian captain Anil Kumble said, ‘It shows how well he understands his bowling. He has studied against every batsman and is executing the strategy precisely. This does not happen easily. He has hit very few fours and sixes throughout the tournament, with Manjrekar saying his presence is benefiting India.
‘This shows the benefits of having the sun’
According to Kumble, ‘India has one of the best T20 batsmen in the world. On a tough pitch, when you have an in-form bowler like Rashid Khan in front of you, you realize the benefit of having Suryakumar in the team. He doesn’t always like to hit sixes, but he also plays bold and restrained innings. A batsman like Suryakumar is needed at number four. This creates pressure on the opposition bowlers as it is not easy to stop Surya from scoring runs.
