Wasim Jaffer compliments India’s pace bowler on his “considerable improvements” since the Indian Premier League

In the third and final Twenty20 International match, which took place on Saturday, India breezed through Sri Lanka with a 91-run triumph.

After the hosts had posted a massive total of 228/5, thanks in large part to Suryakumar Yadav’s unbroken effort of 112 runs, the hosts excelled with the ball and bowled out Sri Lanka for 137 runs.

With this victory, the team captained by Hardik Pandya won the three-match Twenty20 International series 2-1. Umran Malik, who served as the series’ pacer, was truly remarkable throughout the entirety of the competition, and his lightning-fast speed left everyone in awe.

Umran, who was given the opportunity to wear the national shirt by Sunrisers Hyderabad following an outstanding performance in the Indian Premier League 2022, finished the three-game series against Sri Lanka with a total of seven wickets.

Wasim Jaffer, who played for India in the past, lauded the 23-year-old cricketer and added that he has demonstrated significant growth since the Indian Premier League and that he has focused on improving his line and length as well.

“In my opinion, he has made a great deal of progress. Because he doesn’t have a lot of variety or slower balls, I’ve assumed that he’ll always be pricey in this format ever since I saw him play in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

“When you bowl at 145-150 clicks, sometimes you have to beat the batsmen with the lack of pace as well,” said Jaffer on ESPNCricinfo. “When you bowl at 145-150 clicks, you have to beat the batters with the lack of pace.”

“Anything that comes with pace, goes out of the ground, as the batters are savvy enough to utilise that tempo,” the pitcher said. “Anything that comes with pace, goes out of the ground.” However, both his line and lengths have shown significant improvement. In addition to that, he has the capacity to take wickets.

The games he’s played in have been expensive for his team, but he’s picked up some key wickets. Therefore, he has made a significant amount of progress since I last saw him in the IPL,” he went on to say.

Coming into the contest, Suryakumar demonstrated his unrivalled superiority yet again in the shortest format with a magnificent hundred as India defeated Sri Lanka by 91 runs in the third Twenty20 International (T20I) match played in Rajkot on Saturday to record a memorable victory in the series.

Surya made a brilliant 112 not out off 51 balls for his third T20I century and propelled India to an impressive 228 for five, which made the work simpler for his bowlers. India’s total at the end of the innings was 228 for five.

To score his third century in the format, he toyed with the Sri Lankan bowlers the entire game, hitting fours and maximums at whim and in the signature manner that he has been known for all over the field.

The Indian bowling attack thereafter took control, restricting Sri Lanka to 137 runs and winning the series by a score of 2-1.
