NEW DELHI: India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah was at his absolute best at the recently concluded T20 World Cup in the Americas where he was adjudged the Player of the Tournament as India ended their 11-year ICC title drought.
As Rohit Sharma-men clinched India’s second T20 World Cup title, Bumrah led from the front with the ball, finishing as the tournament’s third highest wicket-taker.
And for legendary MS Dhoni as well, star Bumrah is his current favourite bowler.
At a recent event, when Dhoni was asked to choose his favourite India batter and bowler, the two-time World Cup winning skipper didn’t even hesitate in picking Bumrah.
He however refrained from naming his favourite India batter.
“Picking a current favourite bowler is easy. Bumrah is there. Picking a current favourite batter is tough because there are quite a lot of terrific batters in our side at the moment. I don’t want to pick a batsman. Hopefully they will keep scoring runs,” Dhoni said.
