Jasprit Bumrah proved why he is the best in the business with a brilliant spell against arch-rivals Pakistan in the T20 World Cup match on Sunday. Bumrah brought his A-game to the table when the odds were not in India's favour and pulled his team back in the game with his three wickets for just four overs as Pakistan batters succumbed under pressure in the moderate 120-run chase.

Bumrah was right on the money when things were going away from India's reach and claimed the crucial wickets of Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed at crucial junctures of the game. He bowled 15 dot balls as Pakistan batters feel suffocated while tackling him.

The Pakistan batters even struggled to connect Bumrah's full tosses as Pakistan legend Waqar Younis pointed out that the Indian pacer puts terror in the their minds, which didn't allow them to attack him.

“I have played against many greats of the game. But when I look at Bumrah, the kind of action he has got. Why cannot they hit Bumrah’s full tosses? It is because of the fear of his name. He puts terror in the batters’ minds. Even if he bowls full tosses, it is hard to hit because the batters are not expecting that,” Waqar told Star Sports.

Pakistan ended at 113 for seven in 20 overs, replying to India's 119 all-out on a two-paced track at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium.

The former Pakistan pacer further said that Bumrah's unique action also makes it difficult for the batters to pick him.

“On top of that, the whippy action, the hyper-extension is very hard to pick. He is one of the bowlers, who is very hard to pick, he is a genius. He bowls well in any kind of conditions. He has got everything covered, he is world-class,” he added.

Bumrah led the bowling attack while he also got good support from the other end as Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh claimed two wickets each, while Axar Patel picked one. Pakistan lost hold in the death overs as the equation came down to 18 needed off the last six balls and Arshdeep held his nerves to ensure another famous win for India over Pakistan on the world stage.
