Former Australian bowler heaps praise on Jasprit Bumrah after T20 World Cup win

3 min readMar 11, 2026 04:31 PM IST Former Australia fast bowler Damien Fleming was full of praise for Jasprit Bumrah after the Indian spearhead’s match-winning performance in the final of the T20 World Cup. Bumrah delivered another standout performance, claiming 4/15 in four overs, as India defeated New Zealand by 96 runs in the final to lift the T20 World Cup title. Fleming particularly highlighted Bumrah’s slower delivery, comparing it to a curveball in baseball – a variation that deceives batters through subtle changes in pace and movement. Beyond the variations, however, Fleming was particularly impressed by Bumrah’s ability to keep improving despite already being regarded as one of the premier fast bowlers in the game. “That slower ball of his is like a curveball in Baseball.

The trend goes back to the 90s. Notable was Pakistan’s group match against Australia at Headingley, Leeds in the 1999 ODI World Cup. A yorker from Damien Fleming in the 47th over of Pakistan’s innings had seen Inzy stuttering and falling over just outside the crease. Non-striker Wasim Akram ran towards the striker’s end with Haq being run out by Fleming. Akram had shared the incident multiple times in the past and recalled Haq’s words to him. “Wasim bhai, aap yahan kahan (Wasim,where are you here)?” Akram had told the media earlier. A day prior to the Champions Trophy face-off, when asked by Navjot Singh Sidhu about the incident and Akram’s take on the incident, Inzy was quick to answer, ‘We decided that we …

With Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah missing India’s training session at Brisbane on Tuesday ahead of the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy starting Saturday, Indian team management has its concerns.

With Indian bowling coach Morne Morkel terming Bumrah showing signs of discomfort in the first innings in the Pink Ball Test match at Adelaide last week as ‘just a cramp’, former Australian pacer Damien Fleming believes there are ‘some serious doubts’ over Bumrah’s condition. “There’s got to be some serious doubts.
