Veteran Sunil Gavaskar said that it is unfair to ask the audience to chant Jasprit Bumrah’s name while he is bowling in an important match like the semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup.
During the second semi-final played between India and England at the Wankhede Stadium, when Bumrah was preparing to bowl, the DJ requested the audience to chant ‘Boom Boom Bumrah’. Batting first, India scored 253 runs for seven wickets.
While commentating the match, Gavaskar said, “It is not a good idea to ask the spectators to chant ‘Boom Boom Bumrah’ while bowling. They can do this between overs, but not during the over. This is the World Cup.
Earlier, Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri had strongly criticized the International Cricket Council (ICC) for organizing a laser show during the thrilling T20 World Cup Super Eight match played between India and West Indies at the Eden Gardens.
what happened in the match
With Sanju Samson’s stormy half-century, defending champion India defeated England by seven runs in the semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup, despite an aggressive century by Jacob Bethel, and made it to the final for the second consecutive time. Chasing India’s target of 254 runs, the England team scored a century from Bethel (105 runs, 48 balls, seven sixes, eight fours) and Will Jacques (35 runs, 20 balls, four fours, two sixes). Despite his partnership of 77 runs for the fifth wicket with Sam Curran (18) and 50 runs for the sixth wicket with Sam Curran (18), he could only score 246 runs for seven wickets.
For India, Hardik Pandya took two wickets for 38 runs. Bumrah took one wicket for just 33 runs in four overs, which proved to be decisive. Varun Chakraborty conceded 64 runs and took one wicket, which is the most expensive spell from India in this format.
India will now face New Zealand in the final on Sunday and will try to create history by becoming the first team to defend the T20 World title.
