West Indies legendary cricketer Curtly Ambrose lavished praise on Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah for his contribution to Rohit Sharma-led side's winning streak in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. Bumrah has picked up 10 wickets in his five outings in the ongoing marquee event in the USA and West Indies.
Ambrose said Bumrah made a huge impact in the Indian cricket. He can swing the ball and generate pace when he wants.
Curtly Ambrose on Jasprit Bumrah
"Jasprit Bumrah is a different bowler and I am his big fan. I love watching him bowl because he is unorthodox and not a traditional type of bowler who comes with a long run-up and bowls. He takes a short run-up and it looks like he is walking. Whatever he does after that has a huge impact and he has been doing a great job for Indian cricket. He can swing the ball and generate pace when he wants. So he is a very skilled bowler" said Ambrose on Sports Tak.
Curtly Ambrose on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma
The WIndies speedster also said that Bumrah cannot be a lone match winner because cricket is a team game but the pacer can play a huge role in victory. He also lavished praise on Indian captain Rohit Sharma along with Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant by calling India a balanced side.
“He has the skill and ability but this is a team game. So he cannot do anything alone. If Bumrah does well and does not get the support of the other bowlers. Apart from this, if the batter does not score runs then India can lose. Therefore, this is a team game but despite this, he can play a big and important role in the victory. I believe that Rohit Sharma is a great captain and so is Virat Kohli. Apart from this, Rishabh Pant is a very dangerous player, so Team India looks like a very balanced side” added Curtly Ambrose.
Team India have registered five consecutive wins in the ongoing T20 World Cup. The Men in Blue have almost sealed their semifinal berth after beating Afghanistan in their last outing. India will now face Australia for their last Super Eight clash on June 24.
