An unwanted record has been added to the name of Jasprit Bumrah. There was a time when it was very difficult for even the best batsmen to hit sixes off Bumrah’s balls. If in the second T20 match between India and South Africa, Bumrah gave away runs at an economy rate of 11.20. Bumrah has a record not only for economy rate but for hitting the most number of sixes.
Till now, this has not happened in Jasprit Bumrah’s international T20 career, when he has been hit for 4 sixes in a single match. This happened for the first time in the match against South Africa when 4 sixes were hit on his bowling. In the second T20 match, Bumrah gave away 45 runs in 4 overs and could not take a single wicket.
Jasprit Bumrah gave 17 runs in the first 2 overs of his spell. But he scored 15 runs in the third over and 18 runs in the fourth over. In the last over, Ferreira had hit 2 sixes against Bumrah. Earlier, in the fourth over of the innings, Quinton de Kock and Reeza Hendricks had hit a six each on Bumrah’s bowling.
Jasprit Bumrah recently became only the second Indian bowler to complete 100 wickets in international T20 cricket history. Before him, Arshdeep Singh had achieved this feat. Now in the very next match, an unwanted record of hitting 4 sixes in a single match has been created in Bumrah’s name.
Arshdeep was also beaten
In this match, not only Jasprit Bumrah but also India’s most successful bowler in T20 Arshdeep Singh was badly beaten. He gave away 54 runs in 4 overs. This was the second most runs conceded by Arshdeep Singh in a T20 match. Arshdeep had given away 62 runs in a single T20 match against South Africa in 2022.
