Robin Uthappa Comments on Jasprit Bumrah's Performance at MCG T20I
Former India batter Robin Uthappa shared his view on Jasprit Bumrah's bowling in the second T20I against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Uthappa suggested that Bumrah tends to lose his usual rhythm when he is desperate for wickets.
Analysis of Bumrah’s Performance
Despite Bumrah taking two wickets and conceding 26 runs in four overs, India’s total of 125 was easily chased by Australia within 14 overs, giving them a 1-0 series lead. Uthappa noted that Bumrah was not at his composed best during the match.
“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.”
Uthappa's Insight into Bumrah’s Waywardness
Uthappa believes Bumrah's occasional loss of discipline is linked to his eagerness to strike early. This desire to make a quick impact can cause him to deviate from his usual disciplined approach.
Summary
Robin Uthappa highlighted that Jasprit Bumrah’s rare off day was influenced by his intense urgency for wickets, which affected his rhythm and control during the match.
“The pacer's occasional waywardness often stems from his eagerness to strike early.”
