Since the Indian pacer’s bag of tricks stunned Pakistan in a low-scoring thriller at the Nassau Cricket Stadium in New York on Sunday, June 9, the cricket community has been in awe of Jasprit Bumrah. In the last T20 World Cup in 2022, former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif talked about how much the Men in Blue missed Bumrah’s skills.
Not to be confused with the 2022 World Cup, Bumrah needed surgery after suffering a stress fracture in his back just one month beforehand. Since his return to action last year, he has been in incredible form, and he is dominating the current T20 World Cup. Jasprit Bumrah was brilliant in the high-stakes India-Pakistan encounter, as his match-winning stint of 3/14 enabled Rohit Sharma’s team to defend a meagre 120-run goal. He had finished with numbers of 2/6 in three overs against Ireland.
The 30-year-old received a tonne of praise from Mohammad Kaif, who claimed that his knock in the latter half of Pakistan’s innings was the game-changing moment.
“This is just getting started. The last time we discussed this, it was during the World Cup. In 2022, we really missed him. This is the pivotal moment when Bumrah appears. With his sights set on a six, Batsman prepared to smash it. The first ball he caught was missing. Kaif stated on Star Sports that Rizwan enjoys cutting and pulling.
In addition to pointing out how the speedster planned the hazardous Iftikhar Ahmed’s demise in the penultimate over of the second innings, the former cricket player turned pundit stated that Bumrah understands precisely when to employ his variations.

“Bumrah is adept at hitting the right ball. Where to hit the ball is a mystery to the batsman. He hit the ball forward, jumped up, and used his quickness to catch Iftikhar. It must have disappointed him. He was capable of hitting the ball quite high. It’s Bumrah’s class, though. Bumrah is hitting a slower bouncer, if we look at his most recent over. And he’s hitting a yorker. His ball hits are coming in on time. The batter is unsure of which ball is approaching. He continued, “Bumrah is an expert at playing in a death over.
