Team India's ace speedster Jasprit Bumrah called Mohammad Kaif's assessment accurate about how Rohit Sharma used him and Suryakumar Yadav is currently doing at in Asia Cup 2025 amid their unbeaten run. By retweeting the former Indian cricketer's tweet on X, Bumrah wrote "Inaccurate before inaccurate again."
With the 35-year-old often bowling three overs upfront of Bumrah, it leaves him with only one over in the end. Although the right-arm speedster has struggled a touch, he has still come good for the Indian team in crucial stages. The Ahmedabad-born cricketer is still the second-highest wicket-taker for the Men in Blue in the competition with five scalps in four matches.
Taking to X, Kaif wrote that Suryakumar's approach could hurt the national team in big matches against stronger teams:
"Bumrah under Rohit would generally bowl overs 1, 13, 17, 19. Under Surya, in Asia cup, he bowled a three-overs spell at the start. To avoid injury, Bumrah these days, prefers to bowl while his body is warmed up. 1 over of Bumrah in the remaining 14 overs is a huge relief for batters, against stronger teams at World Cup, this could hurt india.
Jasprit Bumrah claimed two wickets in India's 41-run victory over Bangladesh
Bumrah, who leaked over 40 runs against Pakistan, was on song against Bangladesh from the get go. The right-arm speedster claimed figures of 4-0-18-2 as the Men in Blue defended 168 with ease, leaving The Tigers 41 runs short of the target of 169.
India's batting largely revolved around Abhishek Sharma, who hammered 75 off 37 deliveries, thereby continuing his ominous form in the tournament. Nevertheless, they struggled to finish as strongly as the fans would have hoped. Although The Tigers got off to a promising start, India kept picking up regular wickets as Kuldeep Yadav became the pick of their bowlers with three scalps.
The winner of the game between Pakistan and Bangladesh will face India in the final.
