T20 World Cup 2024: A lot of credit goes to Jasprit Bumrah – Arshdeep Singh acknowledges pack leader’s role in his success

India’s rising star Arshdeep Singh feels Jasprit Bumrah’s economical figures help him get wickets at the other end. Bumrah has been in sensational form in the ongoing T20 World Cup as he has scalped 11 wickets in six games at an unbelievable average of 8.54 and an economy rate of 4.08. 

The Indian pack leader returned with 1-29 against Australia at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia on Monday as he bamboozled the opposition’s top-scorer Travis Head with a slower ball.

On the other hand, Arshdeep Singh returned with impressive figures 3-37 as he also played an instrumental role in defending the target of 206 runs. Singh gave an early breakthrough of David Warner and then accounted for Tim David and Matthew Wade at the fag end of the innings as India registered a 24-run win.

“I guess a lot of credit goes to Jasprit because he puts a lot of pressure on the batters. He gives what, three or four runs in and over. So, batsmen are coming hard against me and when they are trying, I just have to like try and bowl my best ball,” Arshdeep said in the post-match press conference.

Singh noted that the opposition batters are forced to take more risks against him as it is difficult to score against Jasprit Bumrah.

“There are a lot of chances of getting wickets there because on the other hand they see the runs are not coming and the asking rate is going high. So they take more risk against me and there’s a chance always of getting a wicket there. So, I guess there’s a lot of credit that goes to, of my wickets, that goes to Jasprit,” Arshdeep added.

India will face England in the semifinals at the Providence Stadium, Guyana on Thursday.
