News about Jasprit Bumrah

Dan Lawrence has been batting in the unfamiliar position of opener this series, and people may ask whether he has done his long-term prospects harm in the process. Well, it's true that you can look so bad that people no longer think you look like a Test match cricketer. However, those who have picked him this summer have seen him enough over the years to know he is an eye-catching player and scores runs.

India beat South Africa on Saturday by seven runs in a heart-stopping final to win the Twenty20 World Cup at the Kensington Oval. Across London, Indian cricket fans took to the streets to share their joy at their nation's historic win. However, during the celebrations, one fan can be seen falling from a flag pole as he tries to tie a flag to the top of it. In addition to this, another man was detained by police in Ealing Road as what was meant to be a day of jubilance turned sour.

India are the favourites to win tomorrow's T20 World Cup final in Barbados. Meanwhile, their opponents South Africa are 13/8 outsiders to win their maiden title. In addition to the Match Winner market, Sky Bet are offering three Price Boosts for this highly-anticipated contest. The first two boosts are for India to win the match, hit the most sixes and hit the most fours at 2/1, and Rohit Sharma to hit 2+ sixes, Jasprit Bumrah to take 2+ wickets and Rishabh Pant to take a catch at 7/1. Sharma hit two sixes against England last time out, while Bumrah took two wickets in the same game. The third and final boost - which is priced at 16/1 - needs Quinton de Kock and Virat Kohli to score the most runs for their respective teams.

LAWENCE BOOTH AT THE GUYANA NATIONAL STADIUM: The early damage was done by left-arm spinner Axar Patel, who with his first ball removed Buttler, toe-ending a reverse sweep, then adding Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali, who may both have featured in international cricket for the last time. In between, the incomparable Jasprit Bumrah rearranged Phil Salt's leg stump. The chase was over almost before it had begun.

LAWRENCE BOOTH IN BARBADOS: As Rohit Sharma monstered Australia's high-class attack for 92 off 41 balls in St Lucia, the scale of England's task in Thursday's World Cup semi-final in Guyana became apparent. To stop the Indian juggernaut, they may have to produce the perfect game. Fortunately for England, there is recent precedent. When these sides faced off at the same stage of the previous World Cup, at Adelaide in November 2022, Jos Buttler and the long-forgotten Alex Hales bashed them to a 10-wicket win, knocking off 169 with four overs to spare. It remains one of England's greatest white-ball results by an England side. But India were without the injured Jasprit Bumrah in that tournament, and his performances over the last three weeks in the USA and the Caribbean have doubled their potency. His ramrod-straight arm may be the competition's weirdest bowling action, but his numbers are just as freakish.

Skipper Mitch Marsh (left) and the Aussie team need Bangladesh to beat Afghanistan in order to keep their campaign alive after they were beaten easily by India (inset) - and if that doesn't happen, Warner (pictured left after being dismissed) will have scored just six in his last international match.

Just days before Australia name their T20 World Cup squad, Jake Fraser-McGurk has made an irresistible demand for a place with his latest staggering demonstration of batting pyrotechnics in the IPL. The 22-year-old Delhi Capitals opener pulverised the Mumbai Indians attack to the tune of 84 off just 27 balls at Delhi's home Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday, including a half-century off 15 deliveries, the joint-fourth fastest in IPL annals. It propelled Delhi, again without David Warner who's still nursing an injured finger, to a massive 4-257, with Mumbai then falling short by 10 runs on 9-247, despite a late blast from Tim David, with his 17-ball 37.

After Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill gave a masterclass in batting on their way to individual centuries, India remains solidly in the driving seat of the fifth and final Test against England. They're back in control of the final Test with Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah batting a 4-1 draw.

NASSER HUSSAIN: Forget any discussion about Bazball's merits; what England has lacked during this series in India is a ruthless streak to get through tough times. They haven't been able to prevent first-innings disasters from happening. It's simple as that. They're expensive, and it's cost them dear. I'm afraid they saved the worst until last, because they went from 100 for one to 183 for eight in the afternoon, which was the most frustrating part of the tour for me.

PAUL NEWMAN IN DHARAMSHALA: Thousands of England supporters who participated in this 'bucket-list' Test were ideally encouraged to enjoy the stunning views of the snow-capped Himalayan mountains. For the alternative, it was safer to watch a complete horror film. This was the most frustrating day of a tour so far, but England had promised a lot but not delivered maddeningly little. Worse than when they lost to a historic loss in Rajkot and even worse than when they threw it all away in Ranchi.

STUART BROAD: Joe Root recalled one of his best net sessions before the Ranchi Test that Joe Root said he had just enjoyed one of his best net sessions. He had clearly discovered something after a lengthy string of events, and if he's said it before, it usually means he's been on the lookout. However, from some of Ben Stokes' and others' comments about the pitch, it seemed as if a hundred would be worth twice as much as double.

Root judged everything to be. Make no mistake: the steel in his eyes as he reached his milestones was in his eyes when he was stung by the criticism of his reverse ramp that cost him his wicket against Jasprit Bumrah in Rajkot. We're used to seeing him play with a smile on his face. Here's how it was as if he was sending everyone a note: I'm Joe Roots and I'm one of the bests in the world. Without the ability to analyze your own game, you won't score 31 Test hundreds and more than 11,500 runs. The captain asked for some self-reflection from his team ahead of this game, and Root has been doing this all his career.

Fireworks have blazed the stand-by. This fourth Test may be short, and England will only hope, sweet, as they try to pull Rajkot behind them and level this series. Well, Ben Stokes said on Wednesday that he had never seen anything like the dark brown, ultra-dry, and cracked pitch that brought back memories of England's last Indian tour three years ago, when the team lost by a 3-1 series loss to rank turners. When asked to describe the surface two days out at this north-western outpost where an international stadium was constructed 12 years ago almost in honor of legendary local MS Dhoni,' said the England captain.

PAUL NEWMAN IN RANCHI: On Tuesday, India introduced a new ingredient to the fourth Test mix, but it was without their star bowler Jasprit Bumrah. As India and England fought their way through the crowds that had assembled at Ranchi Airport to welcome their charter flight after they arrived in a city that seldom sees international cricket, Bumrah was nowhere to be seen. Bumrah had gone home to Ahmedabad after the third Test, and if he makes a late arrival here on Wednesday or Thursday, it would be clear he had sought the rest he wanted before the third Test.

PAUL'S NEWMAN IN RAJKOT: Ben Duckett defended Joe Root for playing the shot that resulted in three Test problems for England, and he maintained that the rough of Bazball must be treated with a smoothness. On day two, Duckett smashed India to all parts of Rajkot but then gave his wicket away on 153, slapping a long hop from Kuldeep Yadav straight to cover during an incredible failure that saw England lose eight for 95. It was the first of those eight that sparked disaster when Joe Root tried one of his nefarious reverse ramps off his nemesis, Jasprit Bumrah, but at third slip, it crashed straight to Yashashashashashash Singh.

NASSER HUSSAIN: Ben Duckett is the player who epitomises English cricket's mindset shift. Duckett talked about what he learned from England's first winter in 2016-17, when he toured Bangladesh and India and really failed. In Bangladesh, he played on some turning pitches and ended up with a 50 in a 1-1 draw, but was later harrassed by Ravichandran Ashwin of India, who swore out to him three times in a row, not helped by a tactical decision to get his front leg out the way and reveal his stumps in an attempt to open up the off-side.

Following his man-of-the-match success against England in Visakhapatnam, Jasprit Bumrah has become the first Indian pace bowler to top the Test rankings. Bumrah's nine for 91 sent him to No. 1 in the ICC's bowling rankings, a position he had only ever occupied among his compatriots by spin trio Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Bishan Singh Bedi. Tom Hartley, a left-arm spinner from Lancashire, meanwhile, has risen in both batting and bowling rankings after being only the second England player after Wally Hammond's death to score at least 50 runs and five wickets in each of his first two Tests.

PAUL NEWMAN: So, lightning did not strike twice. Even the Hyderabad Heist was not supposed to eclipse Vizag. In the meantime, England had to be content with a full supporting role in another thrilling, magical Test that leaves what is otherwise a epic story all square. On the fourth day of this second Test, there were moments when it seemed that England may defy all cricket logic and chase the 399 they needed for what would surely be an unaffordable 2-0 lead against an India team that could never lose at home.

NASSER HUSSAIN: The discussion has resurfaced after Joe Root's appearance on Monday. Does Bazball suit the way he plays? It was a tumultuous innings for Root's 16 balls out of ten wickets. Only knows if his finger was hurting and preventing him from being completely at the top of his game, whether he was worried about the imminent danger of facing his rivals Jasprit Bumrah and feeling the need to rush after the spinners. But the argument will be that Bazball doesn't work for him, when actually one look at the raw figures shows otherwise. His figures in this period are actually better than they have been in the previous career.

THE NOTEBOOK: India has tied up the five-Test series with England after securing a healthy winning margin of 106 runs in Visakhapatnam. In the third innings of the match this week, Jasprit Bumrah and Yashasvi Jaiswal appeared for the hosts with bat and ball, while Shubman Gill added a century. England had pulled off a surprise in Hyderabad to stage the first match, but there were no such heroics this round, with Zak Crawley the only tourist to reach 50 runs, doing so in both his innings.

PAUL NEWMAN IN VISAKHAPATNAM: Even though England was unable to Bazball their way to what would have been another miracle in India, Ben Stokes expressed himself content with the team's second Test approach. On the fourth day, England was bowled out for 292 runs in two sessions and lost the second Test by 106 runs as India, led by Jasprit Bumrah, came back from a humiliating loss in Hyderabad to tie the series at 1-1 with three games remaining. Stokes, who had been knocked out by a direct hit from Shreyas Iyer in the first Test, had no regrets and instead concentrated on another superb Test full of individual brilliance on both directions.

RICHARD GIBSON: After England's humiliating loss in Hyderabad, England lost by 106 runs in Visakhapatnam to see India square the five-Test series. In the first innings, Jasprit Bumrah broke through the England batting order, taking six for 45, while Yashasvi Jaiswal hit a stunning 209 runs, with Shubman Gill adding another wicket in the second innings. Zak Crawley's in-form opener was undeniably the most impressive of the tourists with his 76 and 73 leading the way in both innings, while captain Ben Stokes was his only teammate to reach 40 in the entire match.

STUART BROAD: Jasprit Bumrah has taken a special role in a story, and there is no doubt that India is a much more cohesive unit with him. He's a superb Twenty20 bowler, but Test cricket is much more efficient. He has a record of 152 wickets at 20.28 runs per attests. He is right up there with the very best to have played the game in terms of statistics. Facing him isn't like meeting anyone in the world, and I used to loathing it. Lasith Malinga of Sri Lanka had the difference between him and Bumrah in that his deliveries were incredibly difficult to pick up. Since he comes from a relatively quiet, short, shuffling run-up, there is no real fire in him, and there is consequently no real build-up to the ball being released at the striker's end. It can be very disconcerting.

Despite the dismissal that allowed Jasprit Bumrah to barge through and put India in a good spot at the second day of the second Test, a PAUL newman in Visakhapatnam has promised to do the same again. Crawley's 26th birthday as England replied to India's 396. He maintained his good form that made him England's top Ashes runscorer when he raced to 76 off 78 balls. But just as it seemed that England was rattling along at more than five runs an over, will Bazball win their second straight victory, Crawley's second broad stroke in successive balls in Axar Patel's first over and over had a leading edge to cover. England's cricketer, Bumrah, returned from a devastating spell of reverse swing, with him taking six for 45, his highest figures in a home Test, as England was denied 253 and a 143 deficit. India added 28 to their lead without loss by the end, and the series will get off to a good start on day three.
