From what I’ve observed, Jasprit Bumrah’s preparations are not greatly disrupted by the bowling coach: Axar Patel

India’s undefeated T20 World Cup 2024 campaign has been mostly characterised by the outstanding bowling performances of pacer Jasprit Bumrah. So far in the main event, his accuracy and small adjustments have baffled the opposing batters.

Teammate Axar Patel disclosed that bowling coach Paras Mhambrey doesn’t micromanage too much and lets the star pacer make his own ideas after Bumrah concluded with astounding numbers of 3/7 in his four overs in India’s 47-run victory against Afghanistan on Thursday, June 20.

“It seems like very few people discuss Bumrah’s bowling.” He is aware of appropriate and inappropriate behaviour. I therefore believe that when things are going so smoothly, the bowling coach isn’t providing so much advice that it causes him to become confused. All he says is that you are doing OK, and whatever thinking you are doing is working out as well. The bowling coach doesn’t seem to get involved too much, from what I’ve observed. According to Patel, who was reported by Hindustan Times, “he says during planning that whatever your mindset is, it is clear, so just execute your plans.”

Bumrah is a “world-class bowler,” and Axar went on to emphasise his significance by stating, “You know that with the quality of bowlers we have on our side – we can get out of a tough situation.”

T20 World Cup 2024: Jasprit Bumrah’s incredible stats

With back-to-back Player of the Match triumphs against Ireland and Pakistan, the 30-year-old got the tournament underway. He was quite economical yet went without a wicket against the USA. The right-arm seamer’s tournament total of wickets increased to eight from four games when he claimed three against Afghanistan in the most recent match. He has an incredible strike rate of 11.25 and an average of 6.50. His economy percentage is a pitiful 3.47.

On Saturday, June 22, at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, India will play Bangladesh. Bumrah would like to keep wearing his purple patch and help the Men in Blue advance to the semifinals with their fifth victory of the competition.
