India vs Australia 2019: Jasprit Bumrah Relives Ominous Penultimate Over

India’s gun fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah went on to relive every ball of the penultimate over against Australia. Bumrah was able to choke the Australian batters in the 19th over of the innings. The guests required 16 runs from the final two overs, which is generally a pretty simple situation in T20 cricket.

However, Jasprit Bumrah had some other ideas as he swung the match in India’s favour. Bumrah scalped two wickets and gave away only two runs in the second last over. Thus, Umesh Yadav had to defend 14 runs in the final over but the fast bowler could not do it.

Bumrah was breathing fire.

Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah was right on the money as he took three wickets and gave away only 16 runs in his four overs quota. Bumrah bowled a heavy length ball and he was accurate with his yorkers to breath down the neck of the Australian batters.

Furthermore, Bumrah produced a top edge of Peter Handscomb to send him back to the pavilion. Moreover, he bowled a deadly yorker to bring about the downfall of Nathan Coulter-Nile, who is no mug with the bat.

Here is how Jasprit Bumrah explained each delivery of his superb over on BCCI.tv:

1st ball (no run)

It was a pressure situation, the game was evenly poised and we were trying to pull it back our way. Was speaking to a lot of seniors. It was an up and down wicket and to play the big shots was a little. So I bowled a back of a length delivery. He (Peter Handscomb) played across the line, he missed the ball so it was a dot.

2nd ball (1 run)

I wanted to do the same, but he stepped and the ball went towards square leg and they took a single. It was still evenly poised so I was talking to the captain, vice-captain and MS (Dhoni).

3rd Ball

Nathan Coulter-Nile was on strike. I changed the field a little bit and bowled a back of a length delivery. The execution was good on the day so I got another dot ball.

Bumrah was at his best.

4th ball (1 run)

I was thinking if I should change anything because what I was doing was working. But I decided against it and bowled another back of a length delivery. One these kind of wickets people usually go yorker, yorker, yorker but on up and down wickets length balls are always effective. They got another single from that.

5th ball (Wicket)

It was the last two balls and it’s always very important to close off the over. I was talking to the captain about what is to be done and Handscomb was on strike. In fact, I knew he was going to take a chance on this ball. I was thinking about why to change things if nothing is going wrong. I knew was going big so I was watching him till the end of my run-up. I bowled a length ball, he stepped out, it went up in the air and towards Mahi bhai who is always as safe as houses.

6th ball (Wicket)

There was a little discussion with Virat and Rohit as to what I should do because everybody knew this will be an important ball in the context of the match. We decided to back my strength, I had bowled a lot of length balls so decided this one should be a yorker. I managed to execute it pretty well on that day.
