ICC World Cup 2019: Just Like Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah Is One Of The Major Contributors – Sachin Tendulkar

10-2-37-3; those were the numbers registered by Jasprit Bumrah during the game against Sri Lanka. However, those were not the rarest numbers for the Indian fast bowler, as he has been a force to reckon with in the recent past. Regarding the same, he draws praises from the Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar.

In-form India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, on Saturday, has added another feather to his cap after he completed 100 ODI wickets in the match against Sri Lanka at Leeds on Saturday.

Bumrah achieved this milestone when he dismissed Sri Lankan captain Dimuth Karunaratne in the fourth over of the innings. Till that time, Bumrah had not conceded a single run as well and was troubling the Sri Lankan batsmen.

Bumrah reached the milestone in his 56th match which makes him the second fastest Indian bowler to reach the landmark. The fastest to the milestone was Mohammed Shami. Bumrah finished with 3 wickets with Kusal Perera and Angelo Mathews being dismissed by him after Dimuth.

Jasprit Bumrah Knew His Contribution to the team – Sachin Tendulkar

Well, coming back to Sachin Tendulkar praise, the former Indian cricketer quoted that the presence of Jasprit Bumrah is as important as Rohit Sharma. Further, he went on to add saying that Jasprit Bumrah is one of the key contributors like the Indian vice-captain to see Indians reaching semifinals.

“I wouldn’t want to worry about his off-day. I am glad that when he bowled against Sri Lanka, it was, for a change his lucky day. Because he’s been bowling so well but not getting as many wickets and I was really happy for him that he picked wickets,” Sachin Tendulkar said to India Today.

”Even if he wasn’t getting wickets, he didn’t get rattled. He knew what his contribution to the team is to get all the way to the semis. I think he is one of our major contributors, just like Rohit,” said Tendulkar.

Well, as Sachin Tendulkar said, the presence of Jasprit Bumrah is a must for the Indian team at present. He is going to be decisive for India in the semifinals, especially, when the team is defending.
