T20 World Cup, IND vs AUS: Piyush Chawla Says Jasprit Bumrah’s ‘Four Overs are Very, Very Crucial’ – News18
Last Updated:
Jasprit Bumrah has so far been untouchable in the 2024 T20 World Cup, picking up 10 wickets and that too at an economy of just 3.42 runs per over.
The fast bowler’s performances have greatly contributed to India’s unbeaten run in the tournament and ahead of the last Super 8 clash against Australia, Piyush Chawla and Paul Collingwood feel Bumrah can be the difference between the two sides.
Former India spinner Chawla said that the pitch does not matter for Bumrah as the Indian pacer has the arsenal to utilise every playing condition.
“Whenever he steps onto the field, he brings his A-game out. And we have seen what he can do with the ball surface doesn’t matter for him because we have seen what he has done in the US where the wickets were seaming around and when we came to the Caribbean, the way he bowled, he used the pitch really well with the good effect. He used his cutters and then his pace-on deliveries and he’s somebody who can bowl yorkers at will. But he knows when there is something in the pitch for the bowler and he didn’t even try to use those yorkers against Bangladesh. Those four overs are very, very crucial,” Chawla was quoted as saying on Star Sports.
Former England captain Collingwood feels Bumrah could trouble the Australian openers.
“Jasprit Bumrah is the big point of difference in this World Cup. He is the person who would be on any team sheet. He is somebody who can take a lot of wickets. And I think when you’ve got a player like that in your rank and bowl four overs; I think Australia are probably in a little bit of trouble. I can imagine that he would be putting them under a serious amount of pressure, but it’s going to be a great one to watch,” Paul Collingwood was quoted as saying on Star Sports.
