The flaming spell of Bumrah versus Pakistan
For the Indian team, Jasprit Bumrah performed like a hero. In the innings’ nineteenth over, he claimed a wicket and made some significant run-saving saves. He gave the team exactly what was needed to win against Pakistan and kept India from losing.
The Indian team set a goal of 120, and they lost every wicket they had. Conversely, the Men in Blue exhibited winning qualities and successfully defended the lowest score in T20I history. With an economy of 3.50, Jasprit Bumrah claimed three wickets in his four overs. The opening pacer spared the Indian team from a disheartening defeat.
In addition, the Yorker King earned the rightful Man of the Match title for his scorching performance versus the Men in Green. Even in the second innings, Pakistan had a hard start. The Indian bowlers, however, were equally formidable; they consistently put their opponents on the back foot and held them to 114.
