‘Praise for Bumrah’s performance against GT: Broad and Smith commend his trademark trajectory’
In a thrilling encounter between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans, Jasprit Bumrah’s exceptional performance caught the attention of former cricketers Stuart Broad and Steve Smith. Broad praised Bumrah’s skill and ability to beat batters with his pace and trajectory, while Smith acknowledged his impact on the game.
Bumrah, who missed the IPL 2023 season, made a remarkable comeback as he took 3-14 in his four overs against Titans. Despite his efforts, Mumbai Indians fell short by six runs in their opening match of the IPL 2024 season. Broad emphasized on Bumrah’s importance with the new ball and highlighted his talent and skill that makes him successful.
Smith also lauded Bumrah’s bowling display, describing him as an “unbelievable bowler” and commending his performance on a challenging wicket. The match was filled with excitement as Mumbai Indians almost pulled off a victory in the final overs, but ultimately fell short. Despite the loss, there were positive signs for the team, according to Broad.
As Mumbai Indians gear up to face Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 27 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, the focus will be on bouncing back from their opening game defeat. The match promises to be an intense battle between two strong teams in the IPL 2024 season.
