During a discussion on Sony Sports, Jadeja talked about Bumrah dismissing Jason Roy (0) and Joe Root (0) in his first over of the match. He also said that the premier pacer didn’t give the batters a chance to be comfortable in the middle. He said:

“Five or six batters play in any team, so if you send out 33% of them in the first over, it is such a big impact. And the two players who he got, Joe Root is their pillar. He didn’t give the batters a chance at all to be comfortable.”

Jadeja added that the conditions at the Kennington Oval were favorable for the pacers. He asserted:

“The conditions were definitely favorable but they were favorable for others as well. When the Indian batters played, you got to know the significance of that even more. He did not bowl the short ball, neither was he cut nor was he pulled.”

Former India National Cricket Team player Jadeja further talked about Bumrah dismissing explosive England batter Liam Livingstone in different circumstances in the third T20I and first ODI. He elaborated:

“He understands the conditions very well. It is the same Liam Livingstone, whom he had dismissed with the slower one in the last match, it was a brown wicket and that was required there. Here it was swinging, so here with the swing.”

“Jasprit Bumrah’s speciality is that he has the speed and swing, but what to do in which conditions, I have probably not seen anyone better than him.”
