India pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been in sensational form in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. The fast bowler has been one of the main reasons why the Rohit Sharma-led side has reached the Super 8 stage of the tournament without losing a single game in the league stage of the event.
Jasprit Bumrah played a huge role for India in the league stage. The fast bowler bagged two Player of the Match awards in the first two games against Ireland and Pakistan and helped his team win the game. He was at his best against Babar Azam-led side as he tiled the game in his favor from losing cause.
However, the job doesn't stop here for Jasprit Bumrah as he will have to do massive work for his team in the Super 8 stage of the tournament. The pacer, however, is making sure that he leaves no stone unturned in his preparations for the next stage of the tournament.
During the practice session ahead of the game against Afghanistan, Jasprit Bumrah was at his best in the field as he showed his best and took a magical catch, which left other players in the training session amazed by it and even praised the fast bowler.
Jasprit Bumrah ran backward and stretched out his hand to grab a one-handed stunner. He pulled off an incredible catch and left his teammates impressed. The likes of Axar Patel, and Arshdeep Singh were seen applauding the pacer but what caught the attention of many was the reaction of Hardik Pandya.
Hardik Pandya went to Jasprit Bumrah and gave him a hug for his heroics in the field. The star pacer also looked amazed by the catch that he took and said: "Yeh Camera Mai mil gaya inko." The video was posted by pacer on his YouTube channel.
Hardik Pandya sets the stage on fire with his heroics with the ball in the T20 World Cup 2024
Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya has been sensational as well in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. He has been incredible with the ball for his team as he is the leading wicket-taker for India in the ongoing tournament, having picked seven wickets from three matches at an average of 9.28 and an economy of 5.41, helping the team win three out of their games.
Hardik Pandya kickstarted the tournament with a bang as he picked up 3/27 against Ireland and then followed it up with the figures of 2/24 against Pakistan and then 2/14 against the USA. Although he has yet to set the stage on fire with bat, he has been consistent for his team with the ball.
India were dominant in the league stage of the tournament. They won three out of their games in the league stage. They first defeated Ireland comfortably and then followed it up with a remarkable win over Pakistan. They then beat the United States of America before their last game got washout.
They would be high on confidence going into the Super 8 stage of the tournament. They will be locking horns with Afghanistan in their first game on 20th June and would be eager to start their campaign on high.
