India's thrilling six-run victory over Pakistan in the T20 World Cup was a testament to the brilliance of Jasprit Bumrah, who single-handedly turned the tide in India's favor despite the team's lowest-ever total against Pakistan in the tournament's history.
Bumrah's match-winning spell of 3/14 dismantled Pakistan's batting lineup, ensuring India's narrow victory. Former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar lauded Bumrah's efforts, highlighting how the pacer has been instrumental for India while the media often focuses on Virat Kohli.
Kohli, who has been India's standout batter in previous clashes against Pakistan, had a rare poor performance, scoring only 4 runs. Manjrekar's comments highlighted Bumrah's consistent contributions, especially in high-pressure situations.
India's batting unit struggled on a challenging two-paced track, but Bumrah's brilliance with the ball was complemented by Hardik Pandya, who delivered crucial bowling figures of 2/24.
Bumrah's penultimate over was particularly decisive, as he conceded just three runs and took the vital wicket of Iftikhar Ahmed, leaving Pakistan needing 18 runs off the final over. Arshdeep Singh then successfully defended the target, sealing the win for India.
Bumrah's performance was a reminder of his exceptional talent and the importance of his contributions to the Indian team. Despite the media's focus on Kohli, Bumrah has quietly been winning games for India single-handedly, proving himself to be the team's most valuable player.
