Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling in 2nd India vs England T20 hailed by Sunil Gavaskar

Jasprit Bumrah kept his nerve to send down a brilliant final over and secure India’s series-levelling five-run victory against England in the second T20 international in Nagpur on Sunday.
Chasing 145 to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series, England needed eight runs from the last over but 23-year-old Jasprit Bumrah bowled with ice in his veins, conceding only two runs while claiming two wickets. Needing six runs of the last ball, Moeen Ali failed to connect with the Jasprit Bumrah delivery as India clinched a five-run win to level the three-match series.
Jasprit Bumrah has won praise for his cool approach in a tense match, especially former Test great and TV commentator, Sunil Gavaskar.
“In today’s cricket eight runs an over is not impossible, especially when there is a batsman at the crease. It was a tough pitch and Jasprit Bumrah did a clever thing by slowing down the pace in the first two deliveries and then bowled a quicker one that got Jos Buttler (bowled Bumrah for 15),”
“The 18th over was the turning point. England were cantering away and the asking rate was easy. But the wicket was slow and it was not an easy pitch to bat,” said Gavaskar. “In the last couple of years, Bumrah has proved to be a thinking bowler and applies his mind in every deliver,” added Gavaskar.
