Jasprit Bumrah: The cricket world has seen again why Jasprit Bumrah is called the best pacer in the world today. In fact, there is no one like him as a protector and savior when the Indian team is in dire straits.
The cricket world has again seen why Jasprit Bumrah is currently called the best pacer in the world. Fans fondly say – ‘Jassi Jaysi Koi Nehi’, really there is no one like him as a protector, savior when the Indian team is in dire straits in bowling. He is the one and only. The bowling that he did in the T20 World Cup semi-final against England will be remembered in cricket history. Not only did the team win, but also hit unique milestones.
Total runs are 499 in 40 overs in India-England match. This number shows how much of a nightmare the Wankhede wicket was for the bowlers. But the Indian bowler who stood between England and the final was Jasprit Bumrah. Jasprit Bumrah took a wicket for just 33 runs in 4 overs when Bethel crossed the boundary at the expense of other bowlers. Especially in the 18th over, Bumrah’s tight bowling at the moment of great pressure turned the match. Hardik and Dubey completed the rest.
At the end of the match, Jasprit Bumrah also took place next to the discussion about the innings of Sanju Samson and Jacob Bethel. He has proven once again that he can win a match on any wicket in the world, in any format of cricket. At the same time, Jassi also wrote his name in the history pages by taking a wicket in the match. Bumboom is the owner of 500 wickets in all formats in international cricket. This precedent as the eighth Indian bowler. Besides, he became the eighth pacer in the world to achieve this feat.
Former cricketers and experts are full of praise for Bumrah. Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjerekar wrote on social media, “There is so much to say about the game. The batting of both the teams was thrilling. But in the end there was only one difference between the two teams. The great Jasprit Bumrah!” Harsh Bhogle also praised Bumrah, saying, “So many small performances that mattered to India. Tilak Verma at the end, Hardik Pandya everywhere, Akshar Darun on the field… but Jasprit Bumrah is forever the priceless diamond.”
So many elements in the game to talk about. Batting being sensational from both sides. But the difference between the two sides in the end was just one guy. The great Jasprit Bumrah! 👏👏👏🙇🙇🙇

Jacob Bethel virtually single-handedly pulled England to chase the reply. Despite playing an innings of 105 runs off 48 balls, he was not successful in the end. England made 246 after losing 7 wickets in 20 overs. India won the match by 7 runs.
