Former India player turned famous commentator Aakash Chopra stated that Jasprit Bumrah is the most important member of Team India. He praised his performance during India’s match against Scotland. Bumrah registered the figures of 2/10 in 3.4 overs as Team India bowled Scotland out for 85 runs in the T20 World Cup 2021 match. And then, KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma added 70 runs for the opening wicket and took the team home with ease.

While talking about India’s performance in a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said: “Let’s be honest, if this team suddenly looks half after removing just one player, it’s not Rohit, Rahul or Kohli, but that guy is Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah is our insurance policy.”

Chopra continued: “Bumrah gave India an amazing start. Bumrah’s story these days is that he either bowls the yorker or the slower one. He is exceptional, without doubt, but I still feel that some bowling can be done on a length, something that he can do but he is not doing at the moment.”

Jasprit Bumrah first dismissed Kyle Coetzer with a slower one. And then, removed Mark Watt with a yorker. While speaking about Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja, Aakash Chopra also applauded Ravichandran Ashwin for his spell as well. Although India won the game easily, their chance of qualifying for the semi is still uncertain. They have one more match left still.

“When Jasprit Bumrah and Jadeja work together, it feels you should not take any tension because you have kept a stranglehold on the batters. Ashwin also bowled well, there is no doubt about that. We should also talk about Mohammed Shami because he also took three wickets and there was a team hat-trick as well in the midst of that. He was absolutely nailing the yorkers. But Jaddu got the Player of the Match because he got the middle-order wickets while Shami caught the tail,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
