Robin Uthappa Comments on Jasprit Bumrah's Bowling at MCG T20I
Former India batter Robin Uthappa shared his thoughts on Jasprit Bumrah's performance in the second T20I against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Uthappa suggested that Bumrah tends to lose his usual rhythm when he pushes too hard to take wickets.
Bumrah's Rare Off Day Explained
Uthappa, who was part of India's T20 World Cup-winning side, believed that Bumrah’s less effective outing was due to his desperation to make an impact during India’s modest total defense of 125 runs.
"When we were bowling after scoring 125, the start was very important. If we had picked up two or three wickets in the first three or four overs, the game could have been closer because we have quality spinners in the middle overs. I felt we were probably trying too hard to pick up wickets. So we got a little wayward."
Performance Overview
- India were bowled out for 125 runs.
- Australia chased the target in under 14 overs, taking a 1-0 lead in the series.
