Mumbai: After fast-bowling trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj led India’s march into the semi-finals of Men’s ODI World Cup with a crushing 302-run win over Sri Lanka, former opener Aakash Chopra believes this is the best-ever bowling line-up the hosts’ have ever fielded in a 50-over World Cup. The victory in Mumbai is also India’s seventh successive win on the trot in the competition and also the third time of India dismissing Sri Lanka for a score less than 100 in ODIs this year.
“The ball on which (Jasprit) Bumrah got Pathum Nissanka out could well be the ball of the tournament. The ball swung away and rapped his pad. After that, (Mohammed) Siraj was given the ball. The last time round, he had taken six wickets against them and here he took three. He was breathing fire.”
“After this, it was time for ‘Sensational Shami’ to take over. Well, he’s spectacular, scintillating and unbelievable. He now has 45 wickets in World Cups in just 14 matches. He took five wickets in this game. Had he been given the new ball, he’d have taken seven. Mohammed Shami was just unbelievable.”
“All the pace bowlers turn their wrist, use scrambled seam, bowl slower ones, but Shami bowls seam up and gets the ball to move at will. Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah. This is the best bowling attack that India have ever had in a World Cup,” said Chopra in the latest episode of JioCinema’s daily sports show ‘#AAKASHVANI.’
