The International Cricket Council (ICC) has recently shared a video where several batters have revealed who they don’t like facing in the Super Over in T20I cricket. Sri Lankan veteran cricketer Dinesh Chandimal has stated that he would surely not like to face Jasprit Bumrah in the Super Over. Adding that Bumrah is a brilliant bowler, Chandimal reckoned that the Indian fast bowler has been doing extremely well in the last three years with the ball in hand.
Dinesh Chandimal also added that it is a difficult task for a batter to score runs against Bumrah. He said, “Definitely Jasprit Bumrah. He is a brilliant bowler. He has been doing well in the last 2 or 3 years in the T20I format, and it is always difficult to hit runs against him.”
