IND vs SA Test: Tendulkar lauds Bumrah bowling consistently in the channel

Indian batting great Sachin Tendulkar credited Jasprit Bumrah's incisive bowling for the series-levelling seven-wicket win against South Africa in Cape Town on Thursday, saying the pacer was rewarded for consistently bowling in the channel. Bumrah produced a hostile spell of 6/61 in 13.5 overs as the Proteas were restricted to 176 in the second innings, setting India a mere 79-run target. India finished the job in 12 overs to record their first victory at Newlands in seven attempts. "Well bowled by Bumrah, who showed us exactly, how bowling in the channel consistently is all that's required on such type of wickets," wrote Tendulkar on his social media platform X. Tendulkar also hailed South African opener Aiden Markram, who weathered hostile bowling on a difficult track to score a dogged 106 in the second essay. "Markram's approach was fantastic because sometimes attack is the best form of defence on a pitch like this." Former India opener Virender Sehwag, while being tongue-in-c

IND vs SA 2nd Test: Newlands will always hold a special place for Bumrah

Having started his Test journey here at the Newlands six summers ago, India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is a touch emotional about the venue, and the icing on the cake was the 'Player-of-the-Series' award after the series-levelling record win over South Africa here on Thursday. Bumrah, who made his Test debut here in 2018, grabbed his second five-wicket haul as India defeated South Africa by seven wickets in the shortest match in Test history, lasting 642 balls. "This ground will always hold a special place in my heart," Bumrah, who was the leading wicket-taker in the two-match series with 12 scalps, said during the post-match presentation. "The journey started here in 2018, always have fond memories. Very happy it went well today. "That journey started in 2018 -- our bowling unit was experienced and we wanted to make an impact. I didn't expect the game to go this fast." Twenty-three wickets tumbled on day one as India were set a paltry target of 79 to level the two-match ...

IND vs SA : BCCI to convince Rohit for T20 captaincy? Bumrah back for Tests

The BCCI brass will like to convince Rohit Sharma to lead the India team in T20 format despite his reluctance after the 2022 World T20 semi-final exit as the board announces the three squads for the South Africa assignment here on Thursday. The BCCI's secretary and convenor of selection committee Jay Shah will meet chairman of panel Ajit Agarkar in the national capital to discuss the squads as well as prepare a roadmap for the next big-ticket event -- the T20 World Cup. With regular T20 skipper Hardik Pandya out for another month post an ankle ligament tear during the recently-concluded ODI World Cup, the choice is between entrusting Suryakumar Yadav with the responsibility or trust Rohit's leadership skills which earned worldwide praise in the last seven weeks. It must be mentioned that Rohit had earlier said that he doesn't want to play the T20 format but the manner in which he led the side in the ODI World Cup has convinced the BCCI that he should continue in white-ball till the

He might be regretting, or he might be hurt: Srikkanth on Bumrah's post

Former India cricketer Kris Srikkanth feels that Jasprit Bumrah could be hurt by all-rounder Hardik Pandya's return to Mumbai Indians as the premier pacer may have harboured captaincy aspirations. Pandya has returned to the MI fold a couple of years after leading Gujarat Titans, having also led the latter to title success in IPL 2022. Pandya had begun his IPL career with MI in 2015, winning four titles before joining GT in 2022. After he was traded by MI last week, Bumrah posted a cryptic Insta story, which read, "Silence is sometimes the best answer." "He's is the best bowler in the world currently, be it Tests or white-ball cricket, not to forget his World Cup performance. He was even the stand-in captain against England in the fifth Test last year," Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel. "He might be regretting. It could be his ego, or he might be hurt by the fact that he stayed back at MI and gave his all, but the team is bringing back someone who had left and celebrating him.

World Cup 2023: Bumrah's short ball hits Ishan in stomach during training

Ishan Kishan slumped to the field with a painful grunt as Jasprit Bumrah's slightly short of length delivery thudded onto his stomach. It took him a few minutes to recover and resume the training here on Wednesday. Shubman Gill was at his best, while clobbering pacers Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna into the stands. But the Indian opener had to restrain himself once Bumrah tested his skills with an assortment of slower balls and in the channel outside the off-stump. It was an optional net session alright, but the pacer did not drop his intensity even for a moment. The whole 20 minutes Bumrah spent bowling at nets offered a good peek into his operating philosophy in this World Cup. It is not eye-catching like Mohammed Shami, who has hogged all the limelight over the last fortnight owing to his 16-wicket burst over four matches. Shami is an apex predator, zooming in on the stumps and hunting for wickets all the time. Perhaps, no other contemporary bowler hit the .

World Cup 2023 IND vs SL: Lanka coach parsies Indian bowling attack

India's bowling attack makes the opposition envious and Sri Lanka head coach Chris Silverwood on Wednesday minced no words in admitting that any team in the world would want to have a line-up like that. At the same time, he also hoped that his team puts together a combined show in their World Cup clash here on Thursday. India will face Sri Lanka in what seems to be a lop-sided contest already, with the World Cup hosts topping the points table with six wins on the trot. On the other hand, Sri Lanka are languishing in the bottom half of the table, placed at the seventh spot at the moment. "If you look at that bowling attack and you watch them operate, it is a very strong bowling attack. I think any team in the world would want an attack like that, to be honest," Silverwood told the media here during the team's training session. "But we see that as a great challenge for our guys. We see it as an opportunity to go out and play against the best and see, I mean, pit ourselves against tha

India make it 6 in row after Shami-Bumrah show, defeat England by 100 runs

Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami breathed fire in their magical opening spells after Rohit Sharma's rearguard 87 on a challenging pitch as India hammered England by 100 runs for their six straight win in the World Cup here on Sunday. The emphatic win would not have been possible without the special effort of skipper Rohit (87 off 101 balls), whose sublime knock stood out as most Indian batters fell by the wayside on a two-paced pitch. Suryakumar Yadav (49) got the much needed runs in the death overs to push India to 229 for nine. Shami (4/22) and Bumrah (3/32) stole the show with the ball for the unstoppable hosts as England batters once against cut a sorry figure as they slumped to 129 all out in 34.5 overs for their fifth loss in six games. England are virtually out of semifinal contention while India, the only unbeaten side in the tournament, are almost there. Having put up a below par total, India needed early wickets to put pressure on a struggling England batting unit. Bumr

World Cup 2023: Past experience helped Bumrah read the wicket in Ahmedabad

Star pacer Jasprit Bumrah traced the origin of his fine 2 for 19 spell that played a big part in India bowling out Pakistan for 191 in their World Cup match on Saturday to his ability to read the pitch at a venue where he played a lot cricket from the junior days. After bundling out Pakistan for a below-par score, India chased down the target in a little over 30 overs to celebrate a seven-wicket win. Bumrah was later adjudged as the player of the match. "I have played a lot of junior cricket on this ground. Since it was a flat wicket, I tried to implement that experience of mine here," Bumrah told Hardik Pandya in a video posted by BCCI. "Before getting hit for four boundaries, it's vital to realise about the wicket right after one boundary. That's what I was trying to communicate," he added. As fellow pacer Mohammed Siraj reminded Bumrah about his fiery spell against Afghanistan in Delhi, Bumrah attributed the success at that venue to the IPL. "There I tried to use my IPL experi
