A journalist mistook SKY for Mohammed Siraj when he was there at the post-match news conference following India’s victory.

It is crucial that we utilise Bumrah wisely in all situations: Rohit

In games against Afghanistan and the United States of America, Suryakumar Yadav has been a valuable asset to the sides, particularly in situations where India has lost wickets quickly. Before saving the team against Afghanistan with 53 off 28 balls in the Super 8 match, the right-hander batsman scored 50 runs off 49 balls. In addition to complimenting the batter, India captain Rohit Sharma called Jasprit Bumrah a game-changer for taking three wickets.

We focus on the fact that everyone arrived on time and completed their assigned tasks. At that moment, the pairing between SKY (Suryakumar Yadav) and Hardik was crucial because we needed someone to go deep, and they did. We are aware of Bumrah’s abilities and class. It’s crucial that we make wise use of him in all circumstances. Rohit remarked, “He has been accepting responsibility for years and is eager to do so.
