Without Jasprit Bumrah, Team India's Bowling is Nothing - How Logical this?

Jasprit Bumrah The Best for India: Jasprit Bumrah is one of the best pacers in the world at present Pace, variation and ability to bowl all the great yorkers made him one of the greatest in history. Being the best has its pros as well as its side effects. In many cases, the team depends a lot on the good players. As seen in the recently concluded India-Sri Lanka ODI series.

India rested Bumrah for the series against Sri Lanka, who performed superbly in the World Cup. In his absence, Mohammad Siraj and Arshdeep Singh have taken charge of the team's pace bowling However, they could not handle that responsibility very well. They gave over 6 runs on a tough wicket for the batsmen. India also lost the series by 2-0.

Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh were below-par in his absence. The left-arm pacer was also dropped from the playing XI in the final game to include Riyan Parag.

After beating Sri Lanka 3-0 in the T20I series, India were the favourites for the ODI games. The first contest ended in a tie, while Lanka won the second by 32 runs. In the third and final game, the victors were outplayed entirely as the host nation won the match by 110 runs.

Junaid Khan, the cricketer of the arch-rival country of Pakistan, did not stop looking at India's performance in this series. In a post on social media, he wrote, 'Without Bumrah, India's bowling is zero. Do you agree?'

Although Junaid said the word in a bit harsh language, it is not that there is absolutely no logic behind it. A look at the latest T20 World Cup shows the accuracy of his comments. To win the title of India in that World Cup This pacer has destroyed his maximum.

Bumrah bowled incredible from the group stage to the final match. Bowling 29.4 overs, he gave only 124 runs in the tournament. He took 15 wickets at an economy rate of 4.17. Not only in T20 cricket, but also in Test and ODI cricket, this bowling stat is undoubtedly worthy of praise.

In the final match, Bumrah's bowling beat even Rupkatha. This pacer snatched the trophy from the tip of South Africa's nose. The way he handled himself and the team in stressful moments also deserves praise. That's why Bumrah's presence in India's bowling line-up has become a big deal.
