2 min readUpdated: Mar 5, 2026 04:04 PM IST Jasprit Bumrah has yet again emerged as India’s bowling spearhead at the T20 World Cup, and the 32-year-old will undoubtedly be the man in focus during the high-octane semi-final match against England at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Bumrah’s level-headed character and supreme arsenal of skills have helped him gather nine wickets in six matches thus far this edition. And while that isn’t the highest among the Indian bowlers – Varun Chakaravarthy leads with 12 wickets – Bumrah’s jaw-dropping 6.30 economy has constricted oppositions throughout the tournament.

IND vs ENG: Bumrah stuns Pope with magic yorker, makes Root his bunny to leave India on top in second Test | Cricket News

In the few seconds it took for the ball to leave Jasprit Bumrah’s hands and reach Ollie Pope it had turned into a fireball. From the moment it was released, it seemed to have only one purpose — to explode. On search engines, this is the delivery that AI would put out as an example for reverse-swinging yorker. In a spell on either side of tea that read 6-4-3-3 , and included wickets of Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow, Bumrah shoved England out of the way to seize a 143-run lead for India.
