The Indian team’s performance in the present T20 World Cup 2024 has been consistent with the pattern observed during the IPL 2024, as Jasprit Bumrah has not yet bowled with the new ball. In both of the matches thus far, captain Rohit Sharma has favoured Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj with the new ball, which has enraged former cricket player Kapil Dev, who feels that Bumrah ought to be the starting bowler.
In T20 cricket, taking early wickets is crucial, according to the 1983 World Cup-winning captain, who also thinks that Bumrah is now the best. He warned that by the time Bumrah entered the attack, the game might be lost and stressed the value of taking wickets with the new ball.
He must bowl the opening over because his style is to take wickets. The game might escape your control if you force him to bowl the fifth or sixth bowler, the former Indian skipper stated to ABP News.

It’s not a Test match, folks. T20 is this. The opposition is under more pressure when you take wickets quickly. Positivity is the best attitude. It also makes life simpler for the other bowlers if Bumrah starts the bowling and takes a few wickets, he continued.
Bumrah showed us all wrong: Kapil Dev
The famous all-rounder acknowledges that he was surprised by Bumrah’s level of cricket performance. The pacer was sidelined for most of the last two years due to injuries he had during his career as a result of his actions, but he battled back to become one of the finest. The former cricket player said that the pacer has shown everyone wrong and praised him for going the extra mile.
Because of the strain his action and running style imposed on his body and shoulders, we didn’t think he’d be able to play as much cricket. But he has shown us all to be mistaken,” he remarked.
