Bumrah gives away most runs in an over in his T20I career, bowls his most expensive spell
The fifth T20I between India and New Zealand in Thiruvananthapuram will be remembered for a long time, especially for the Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. On Saturday, Bumrah had a day to forget as he gave away the most runs in an over in his T20I career and bowled his most expensive spell. The 14th over of New Zealand’s innings was a nightmare for Bumrah, as he conceded 22 runs, which is the most he has ever conceded in a single over in his T20I career.
Bumrah, who is known for his exceptional death bowling skills, was hit for two fours, two sixes, and two singles in the over. The New Zealand batsmen took full advantage of Bumrah’s wayward bowling, as they smashed him all around the ground. The over started with a four, followed by a single, and then two consecutive sixes. The next ball was hit for another four, and the over ended with a single. The 22 runs conceded by Bumrah in that over is the most he has ever conceded in a single over in his T20I career.
Bumrah’s expensive over was a part of his most expensive spell in T20I cricket. He bowled four overs in the match and conceded 58 runs without taking a wicket. His figures of 4-0-58-0 are the most expensive in his T20I career, surpassing his previous worst figures of 4-0-51-0. Bumrah’s economy rate of 14.50 in the match is also the worst in his T20I career.
The fifth T20I between India and New Zealand was a high-scoring match, with both teams scoring over 160 runs. The match saw a total of 17 sixes and 25 fours, as the batsmen from both teams took full advantage of the small ground and the favorable batting conditions. The match was eventually won by New Zealand, who chased down the target of 167 runs with ease.
Bumrah’s poor performance in the match will be a concern for the Indian team, as they prepare for the upcoming T20I series against Sri Lanka. Bumrah is one of the key bowlers in the Indian team, and his form will be crucial to India’s success in the upcoming series. However, it’s not all bad news for Bumrah, as he has been one of the most consistent bowlers in T20I cricket in recent years.
In fact, Bumrah is one of the top-ranked bowlers in T20I cricket, and his performance in the fifth T20I against New Zealand was an aberration. Bumrah has been working hard to improve his bowling, and he has been experimenting with new variations and strategies. His ability to bowl at the death and his skill in taking wickets in the middle overs make him a valuable asset to the Indian team.
The Indian team will be hoping that Bumrah can bounce back from his poor performance in the fifth T20I and regain his form in the upcoming series against Sri Lanka. With the T20I World Cup scheduled to take place later this year, the Indian team will be looking to fine-tune their squad and make sure that all their key players are in top form.
In conclusion, the fifth T20I between India and New Zealand was a memorable match, with plenty of runs and sixes scored. However, for Jasprit Bumrah, the match will be remembered for all the wrong reasons, as he gave away the most runs in an over in his T20I career and bowled his most expensive spell. Despite his poor performance, Bumrah remains one of the key bowlers in the Indian team, and his form will be crucial to India’s success in the upcoming series.
