India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah said he relishes taking responsibility in pressure situations and described the T20 World cup defence as one of the most fulfilling of his career. Bumrah played a stellar role claiming four wickets as India handed New Zealand a crushing 96-run defeat in the final to become the only team to win the T20 World Cup three times. "I don't want to hide behind, I want to be in the thick of things. I always wanted to do a tough job," Bumrah, who was adjudged the Player of the match, said in a video shared by BCCI after the victory. "I've played cricket for that. I started cricket for that. When I'm able to make a difference, that gives me so much joy. No better feeling than that." For the Gujarat born pacer, the triumph carried added emotional significance as it came at the venue where his cricket journey began. "I started my cricket here. I played all my cricket here, come up the ranks through playing for Gujarat over here and winning the World Cup he

He's a national treasure: Suryakumar hails Jasprit Bumrah after T20 WC win

India's triumphant captain Suryakumar Yadav on Sunday called Jasprit Bumrah a "national treasure", coming up with the most appropriate superlative for the talismanic pacer after his incredible bowling in the T20 World Cup. With their 96-run victory over New Zealand in the summit showdown here, Suryakumar's men became the first men's international team to win successive World T20 titles and also the first to claim the trophy on home turf. "Bumrah is a once-in a generation bowler. I can call him a national treasure. He knows how it needs to be done, he is the best in the business," Suryakumar said at the post-match presentation ceremony. In the title clash, Bumrah ended with exceptional figures of 4/15 in four overs to help India bowl out New Zealand for 159 after the home team batters fired in unison to post an imposing 255 for five. "I think it'll take a little bit of time but definitely very happy. Been a long journey. Started post the 2024 World Cup. Jay Shah, Rohit bhai, they al

Countering Bumrah early key for SA against hosts India: Graeme Smith

South Africa will have to find a way to deal with the lethal opening spells of India's lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah before the spinners come into play in the two-Test series beginning on Friday, said Graeme Smith on Wednesday. Smith said neither team would want to lose wickets to pacers before spin comes into play. I think it's never at the forefront of people's conversation when you play cricket in the subcontinent but I think the South African team will definitely be preparing for how they're going to handle spin, SA20 league commissioner Smith told the media here. But getting off to a solid start, having a top three that can lay a platform for you, there's nothing worse than if you go two or three down and then the spinners come on and you're against the game already. So countering Bumrah up front is going to be a big thing, and Rabada as well for India. They're world-class bowlers with world-class Test records, he said. Smith said it will be a challenge in particular for Rabada t

India rely on Arshdeep's rhythm and Bumrah's continuity at Asia Cup 2025

Arshdeep Singh's ability to regain "match rhythm" quickly and Jasprit Bumrah's capacity to play continuously without rest will define India's Asia Cup campaign, feels former national bowling coach Bharat Arun. Arun said Arshdeep, despite extensive bowling in England, is still short on competitive overs. He did play a Duleep Trophy game for North Zone though. India begin their Asia Cup campaign on Wednesday against the UAE. "Arshdeep, we all know what he is capable of doing. He must have bowled a lot in England, but he is definitely short of match practice. The rhythm really comes from playing matches no matter how much you bowl in the net and practice sessions," Arun told PTI during an exclusive interview. "I think it is important to bowl in matches. It's a big challenge for Arshdeep. How quickly he gets back his match rhythm would be very, very important. It can be in a jiffy or it can take him a couple of matches to get into rhythm," added the coach, who had two fairly successful

Chetan Sharma backs Bumrah, urges players to follow physios' guidance

Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah may have drawn criticism for playing only three Tests during the series against England to manage his workload, but former BCCI chairman of selectors Chetan Sharma has backed the bowler, saying players should go by the physios' advice as they are the "better judges". The injury-prone Bumrah played the first, third and fourth Tests in the Anderson-Tendulkar five-match series, skipping two matches with Mohammed Siraj leading the pace-bowling attack. Sharma, himself a former pace bowler, said it was akin to a patient having to follow the doctor's advice. "If the medical team advises, if the doctor tells me that I have to take antibiotics, then I have to consume them. "If our physios is telling a player to manage workload, I think we should listen to them because they are the better judges," said Sharma on the sidelines of the country's public service broadcaster Prasar Bharati signing a deal with London-based cricket analytics company CricViz on ..
