Former Indian cricketer Akash Chopra has praised Jaspreet Bumrah after the match between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans on Tuesday. At the same time, he has also targeted Pant and Iyer in talks. He believes that Bumrah is the most expensive player.
Bumrah bowled tremendously against Gujarat. At one time it seemed that Mumbai would lose this match unilaterally. But due to Bumrah’s sharp bowling, Mumbai made a tremendous comeback in the match.
Gujarat needed 49 runs in just 36 balls at one time. At the same time, only two wickets had fallen. Captain Shubman Gill and Sherfen Rutherford were present at the crease. But after this Bumrah bowled Gill.
After this, Trent Bolt, supporting him, took Rutherford’s wicket. Later, Bumrah bowled Shah Rukh Khan and made the Mumbai team come back. But despite this, Mumbai lost this match.
Talking on Jio Hotstar after the match was over, Akash said that Bumrah has made a habit of putting a game changing spell. Coming immediately after the strategic time and rain breaks, Bumrah dismissed Gill and Shah Rukh, making Mumbai a return to the match.
Akash after this said that it is very unfortunate that Bumrah is not getting much money than the rest of the players. Akash did not name but people believe that he has targeted Rishabh Pant and Venkatesh Iyer. Pant is getting 27 rupees this season and Iyer is getting Rs 23.75 crore. The performance of both of them in this season has been very poor.
