Many of them have already likened Naveen to Bumrah. The hyperextension of the elbow as it goes over, the arm closes in, all pretty similar.

Besides, Virat Kohli after the match was positive and said:

“We spoke in the team meeting that we have to focus on the small chance we have (to qualify) and stay positive and hunt that chance down. We don’t decide we’re going all out. Back the guys because they’re so skilful, and sometimes it comes off like today. To give credit to the opposition, they bowled really well in the first two matches and didn’t let us get away.”
