Win Projections to be updated soon
During his match-winning innings against Pakistan in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, star Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah didn’t hold back. Many experts and former cricket players warned that Bumrah might not make a full recovery and that his career might be finished during the 30-year-old’s injury-plagued two-year absence.
Since his return, he has actually been outstanding. Jasprit Bumrah excelled both in the Asia Cup and the ODI World Cup, when India advanced to the championship match. He was merciless in the five-match home Test series against England, and in the two matches India has played so far in the ongoing T20 World Cup, he has won Player of the Match. Bumrah took three vital wickets against Pakistan, including Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Iftikhar Ahmad, conceding just 14 runs in his four overs.
Following his victorious performance, Jasprit Bumrah responded to his detractors, stating that while some thought his career was finished, he was pleased to show them wrong. He also discussed his attempts to bowl as well as his analysis of the challenging conditions at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, attempting to work out the puzzles presented by the surface.
“See, a year ago, the same people were saying that my career was over and I might not play again, and then the question changed,” Jasprit Bumrah stated during the news conference following the game.
“I am not considering if I am bowling as well as I can. I make an effort to find a solution to the issue in front of me. I realise this is a corny response, but I was attempting to concentrate on what is the best course of action here on a wicket like this,” he continued.
