No Nonsense Verdict of Jasprit Bumrah on Bazball Ahead of England Tests
Indian cricket team star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah believes that he will have a lot of chances to take wickets if England decide to play 'Bazball' in the upcoming five-match Test series starting January 25. In a recent interview, Bumrah explained that the aggressive brand of cricket will actually allow him to stay in the game, as batters are more prone to mistakes if they try to score runs quickly. The pacer also added that although he does not relate to Bazball, it has shown another way to play Test cricket.
In an interview, Bumrah said, “I don't really relate to the term bazball."But they are playing successful cricket and taking the aggressive route of taking the opposition on, showing the world there's another way to play Test cricket.”
He added, “As a bowler, what I think is that it keeps me in play. And if they're going for it, playing so fast, they won't tire me out; I could get heaps of wickets. I always think about how I can use things to my advantage. Kudos to them, but, as a bowler, you're in the game.”
Bumrah also opened up about the heartbreak in the Cricket World Cup 2023 final, where India were defeated by Australia after winning ten matches on the trot in the competition.
