ENG vs IND 2021: Jasprit Bumrah Showed Once Again What He Is Known For: Ashish Nehra

Former India cricketer Ashish Nehra lauded Jasprit Bumrah for his performance in the recently concluded test match against England. Bumrah picked up nine wickets in the match, including a five-wicket haul in the second innings.

The Indian pacer was on the receiving end of criticism after the World Test Championship final, but he has roared back strongly. Speaking on Sony Sports, Ashish Nehra said:

“There was some criticism of Jasprit Bumrah, that he is not looking in good form. But I never felt like that. I was never worried and I never felt that we should discuss that his bowling is not going good. It was a matter of time. Once you get two-three wickets, you will see the same Jasprit Bumrah. He showed once again what he is known for.”

Ashish Nehra reckons that Bumrah will pick many more five-wicket hauls in this five-match Test series against England. He added Bumrah knows when is the right time to put in extra effort in Test matches. Nehra said:

“The sort of bowler Jasprit Bumrah is, you will see more five-wicket hauls from him in this series. Forget the numbers, it can be four, six, or three. Once again his bowling was praiseworthy and the best thing about him is that he knows very well when to put in the extra effort in Test cricket.”

“If you see the second innings, he took one wicket at the start but after that when there was a partnership between Sibley and Joe Root, who broke it – Jasprit Bumrah. As a captain, you want a bowler who gets a breakthrough whenever the team requires,” Nehra concluded.
