It’s hard to hit Bumrah for runs, let alone score plenty off him. And then it is expected of the batters in the world to storm into the medium fast and rip him for runs especially when they are so crucially needed at the back of the innings. There are quality seamers and then there are the rare ones who via sheer commitment to their craft and sheer skill bowl their team to the very top draw of performances. You know well where to place a certain Jasprit Bumrah, don’t you?
Even in the contest against England a few hours ago at the manic and tense riddled Wankhede, Bumrah delivered another excellent spell- 4 overs for 33 and with 1 wicket- putting a stoppage on run scoring at the death overs during England’s batting.
This was noted with sheer delight by his fellow countryman, Sanju Samson who lavished effusive praise on the right arm seamer.
India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson reserved special praise for pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah after India’s thrilling semi-final victory over England, calling him a “once-in-a-generation bowler” whose influence on big matches is unmatched. Reflecting on the high-pressure encounter, Samson highlighted how Bumrah’s presence brings a sense of control and confidence to the Indian bowling attack. According to him, the fast bowler’s ability to execute plans under pressure is what separates him from the rest. “Jasprit Bumrah is a once-in-a-generation bowler,” Samson said after the match. “When he has the ball in hand, especially in crucial moments, the team always feels we are in the game.”

Samson explained that Bumrah’s skill lies not only in his pace but also in his intelligence and adaptability.
His pinpoint yorkers, deceptive slower balls, and ability to read the batter’s intentions make him extremely difficult to score against, particularly in the death overs.
In a tense knockout clash where every run mattered, Bumrah’s discipline and composure proved vital in keeping England’s powerful batting line-up under pressure.
