Indian batters found it difficult to deal with the Pakistan bowling unit at the Nassau County in New York on Sunday. India managed to post a paltry total of 119 after being asked to bat first. However, the bowlers helped the team bounce back, restricting the arch-rivals to 113/7.
Ace Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah was the star performer of the match, returning 3 for 14 in his four overs. India ultimately won the game by six runs. Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has now shared an interesting take on Bumrah’s performances. Taking a sly dig at big names, Manjrekar lavished immense praise on Bumrah.
“While Indian media obsesses over Virat & Co, Jasprit Bumrah quietly wins games for India single-handedly. By far the best player in the Indian team & has been for a while now,” Manjrekar wrote on microblogging site X (formerly Twitter).

Sanjay Manjrekar’s post garnered mixed reactions with many opposing the ex-Indian cricketer’s latest views. Here’s how the netizens reacted:
It is not the media who is obsessed with Virat Kohli. But it is people like you who are obsessed with him and his success since 2012.Even while prasing Bumrah you had to take Kohli’s name proves it.— Pari (@BluntIndianGal) June 10, 2024
It’s funny you talk about this because your commentary revolves around Kohli even when other players are playing.Even in this post where you could have simply appreciated Bumrah, you decided to include Kohli. Talk about obSeSSion

If I have to select the all time India team, in any format, Sachin and Boom will be the top two players. GOAT players in true sense ❤️— MJ (@milindjog) June 11, 2024
Very well said! Bumrah is the generational unicorn, and the BEST India has ever produced PERIOD! Mind you, this is NOT against all the batting legends India have been blessed with! It’s all about how the IND Cricket ecosystem is blindsided!— Darshan Sedani (@dsedani) June 10, 2024
Very true. He has been very under rated compared to other stalwarts of Indian cricket. It is high time he gets his due too— Troll Slayer (@ApurvaS73657725) June 10, 2024
Jasprit Bumrah’s spectacular bowling helped him in winning the Player of the Match award against Pakistan. Chasing a target of 120, Pakistan could manage to reach 113. In their next T20 World Cup 2024 contest, India will be up against co-hosts USA on Wednesday, June 12.
