5 players who can win the Champions Trophy for India

Jasprit Bumrah has become the new death-overs specialist for India

#4 Jasprit Bumrah

While Bumrah is only 23 years of age and his low on experience, the talent that the fast bowler possesses cannot be questioned. Hardly had we ever seen a bowler with just two kinds of deliveries up his arsenal achieve success through the sheer consitency of executing those balls.

The back-of-a-length ball and the yorker, with variations in pace, are only two kinds of deliveries that Bumrah has mastered over the course of his short career, but he has mastered them with a consistency and dedication that’s unparalleled.

If we view and understand what he did in the super over against the Gujarat Lions as an outstanding exhibition of calmness under pressure and view it outside the purview of the IPL, we would understand exactly what Bumrah brings to the table.

With the average scores in limited-overs cricket on an exponential rise on English pitches, players like Bumrah could take the pitch out of the equation by bowling consistently at the base of the stumps and it is here that he can prove out to be a match winner.
