- Jasprit Bumrah Emerging as a Handy New Ball Bowler:
After being mocked and questioned for his ill fated no ball in the ICC Champions Trophy final, Bumrah came back fiercely in the five games.
Picking up a record 15 wickets in the series, the most for any pacer in a five-match bilateral series, the unorthodox pacer was right on the money. The heartening aspect though was in the fact that he troubled the Sri Lankans even with the new ball, and proved his credentials as someone who could be relied upon with the new ball when a lot of discipline is needed.
At the death, he was terrific as usual, making a mess out of the timber on more occasions than not. It wasn’t surprising at all to see him being named the Man of the Series for his efforts with the ball.
