Bridgetown. Former Indian team batsman Sanjay Manjrekar has praised Jasprit 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 commentator, says that Team India is lucky to have a bowler like Jasprit 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 other fast bowlers. If we look at the rest of the top bowlers in the world, there is a difference between them and Bumrah. India is lucky to have a bowler like Bumrah.
Bumrah gave 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 benefiting from his presence.
‘This shows what is the benefit of having Surya’
According to Kumble, ‘India has one of the best T20 batsmen in the world. On a difficult pitch, when you have an in-form bowler like Rashid Khan in front, then you realize what is the benefit of having Suryakumar in the team. He is not always looking to hit sixes, but also plays bold and restrained innings. ‘A batsman like Suryakumar is needed at number four. This creates pressure on the opposing bowlers because it is not easy to stop Surya from scoring runs.
