Sanjay Manjrekar Takes A Dig At Virat Kohli, Showers Praise On Jasprit Bumrah

The Indian Batting Collapse

The Indian batting unit collapsed for just a score of 120 runs. Virat Kohli who is the poster boy of Indian cricket and the ICC to spread cricket elsewhere in the world was reciving most of the attention due to his past standout performances against Pakistan where he has been the deciding factor. In the case of this match, Virat Kohli could not get firing as he got out for just 4 runs after trying to hit a ball past point and was caught. The rest of the Indian batting also collapsed with Rishabh Pant’s heroic batting taking India upto a score of 120 runs.

Bumrah And Co. Prove To Be The Deciding Factor 

With a very small target to defend the pressure was on the Indian ballers to pick up wickets and not give away too many runs. Jasprit Bumrah proved to be a match winner for India as he only gave 14 runs in his four overs and picked up three very important wickets. This eased the pressure off the other bowlers who were then able to defend India’s target and restrict Pakistan to just a score of 113 handing India a six run win over arch rivals Pakistan and further establishing their dominance.
