Robin Uthappa Comments on Jasprit Bumrah's Performance at MCG T20I
Former India batter Robin Uthappa noted that Jasprit Bumrah tends to lose his rhythm when he tries too hard to take wickets. Uthappa connected Bumrah's rare off day in the second T20I against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) to this issue.
Uthappa's Observation on Bumrah's Bowling
Speaking on Star Sports, Uthappa explained that Bumrah’s loss of discipline happens when he becomes desperate for wickets. This was evident in India's defense of a modest total of 125, which Australia chased easily.
Match Context and Impact
- India was bowled out for just 125 runs.
- Australia chased the target in under 14 overs, taking a 1-0 lead in the series.
- Bumrah took two wickets and conceded 26 runs in four overs but was not at his usual composed best.
"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 said.
Analysis of Bumrah's Bowling Approach
Uthappa pointed out that Bumrah’s occasional wayward bowling often comes from his eagerness to strike early, affecting his usual rhythm and discipline.
Author's summary: Robin Uthappa attributes Jasprit Bumrah's off day at the MCG to an overzealous approach, where his desperation for wickets disturbed his rhythm and effectiveness.
