‘The ball hit the stumps….’ – Former India opener heaps praise on Jasprit Bumrah’s delivery to dismiss Mahmudullah during ODI WC 2023 vs Bangladesh clash

Team India won their fourth ODI World Cup 2023 game against Bangladesh on October 19 at MCA in Pune. Following the win, the Men in Blue currently place themselves in the number two spot in the points table of the ODI World Cup 2023, just below New Zealand. Notably, a plethora of cricket experts and former cricketers have expressed their happiness over India’s win. Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra is one of them.

The well-renowed cricket commentator has lauded India’s ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah’s delivery against Bangladesh on October 19 at MCA in Pune. Notably, the former India opener heaps praise on the 29-year-old’s Yorker delivery to Bangladesh middle-order batsman Mahmudullah. In addition, Mahmudullah was looking into his solid form as he piled up 46 runs from 36 balls, scoring three boundaries and three sixes during the game against Team India.

“I will talk about Bumrah first. He bowled a Yorker to Mahmudullah – everyone including Mahmudullah knew a Yorker was coming, he was in the 40s and batting well, but the bat did not come down and the ball hit the stumps. When was the last time you saw such a thing?,” Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube Channel.
