Did India really miss Bumrah and Jadeja in the semis?: ICC T20 WC

‘Wish You Were There…’, Jasprit Bumrah Trends as England Beats India

Indian bowlers were unable to take a single wicket in the semi-final match of the ICC T20 World cup and could not restrict England from decent target.

In the semi-final match Against England

Men in Blue scored a meagre 168 points in the opening innings. The English openers Jos Buttler and Alex Hales absolutely slammed the Indian bowling lineup. Ensuring that India’s chances of making the final were dashed. Nevertheless, the score was insufficient. Fans missed a particular star bowler in the lineup as a result of this.

Due to a back issue, Jasprit Bumrah was declared out before the T20 World Cup. Due to a back injury, he was forced to withdraw from the Asia Cup. He later returned for the series against Australia but sustained another back injury there, forcing him to withdraw from the T20 World Cup. He was replaced in the tournament squad by Mohammad Shami.

The Bowling Line up was missing Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah in the squad

India will question whether Deepak Hooda would have been a better option than Axar and Ashwin to allow Chahal to be in the starting lineup had Ravindra Jadeja been unavailable.

Chahal was India’s spinner preference practically for the whole duration of the event last year. While Ashwin was not inclusive of the white-ball squad until the West Indies series in August, which Chahal strangely missed in an effort to locate India’s backup spinner. Only a few weeks prior to the event, during the South Africa series, did Ashwin choose to play over Chahal.

As there are many talents in the present squad of India. Also, who were not the part of the last match. It was the ICC T20 world cup semi-final where England surpassed India. The Team could not restrict the other side. They won by the openers batting for the side. The bowler’s line was lacking and were in need for a back as Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja who have the capabilities of scalping the wickets in such important match. Mohamad Shami was the Key replacement for Bumrah but could not serve the Justice for the position. Followed by the Openers Bhuvi- Arshdeep Duo could not clinch a single wicket. Chahal was an option, who can increase the wicket taking probablities if includes in the team. But was sitting out as the confused management went for Axar Patel.

However, the bowlers completely missed the form. As Jos Buttler and Alex Hales took the charge. Over the Indian Bowlers off the run chase with 4 overs in hand. Without losing a single wicket.
