Bowling coach Paras Mhambrey, who has separated from the Indian team, has praised Bumrah a lot Jasprit Bumrah (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Whenever a list of the best fast bowlers in the cricket world is made, Jasprit Bumrah’s name will definitely be in it. Apart from being one of the best fast bowlers of India, he is also an inspiration for crores of people. Coaches and fellow players also never get tired of praising him. Ever since he has returned to the Indian team, he has been performing well for the team. He also displayed excellent bowling in the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2024 and was also named Player of the Tournament for this. The coaching staff led by Rahul Dravid played an important role in managing Bumrah’s workload. As a result, India won the T20 World Cup title for the second time. Meanwhile, estranged Indian team bowling coach Paras Mhambrey has heaped praise on Bumrah and also revealed what makes the 30-year-old so special. ‘He is a once in a generation bowler’ He said in an interview with Vimal Kumar, I don’t think I had to do much with him. I would love to say that I worked a lot on him as a bowling coach. What could be better than Bumrah performing and I take the credit? But I don’t do that. I have said it before… he is a once in a generation bowler. India has produced great bowlers, there will be more, but Bumrah is a once in a generation bowler in all three formats. He said that whether it is Test, ODI or T20 International. He has extraordinary skills. He knows how to bowl well, his plans are clear. When I talk to him, I feel that his mindset is very clear and he knows what he is doing.

Will four spinners get a chance in the match against AUS? Know what coach Paras Mahambre said

Team India (Photo Source: X) India will play its last Super 8 match in the T20 World Cup 2024 on Monday, June 24. India has already won two matches in the Super-8 stage and if it beats Australia in its next match, it will confirm its place in the semi-finals. Before this match, there is only one question in everyone’s mind, what will be the pitch of St. Lucia for this match. Let us tell you that as the T20 World Cup matches are being played in the West Indies, the pitch there is becoming sluggish and slow. Meanwhile, India’s assistant coach Paras Mhambrey was asked in the pre-match press conference that if the conditions are favorable for spin, can India give a chance to four spinners in their playing XI. Will four spinners get a chance to play in the match against Australia? Responding to this question in the pre-match press conference, Paras Mahambre said, “It all depends on the pitch – I expect the pitch to be not that favorable for spinners, I think yes three spinners are being included, I think team combination is very important, so I am not sure about all the other places. If, I am saying that, I don’t think the surface will be that dry and will turn that much, but yes, if the surface is like that, there will be a lot of wear and tear on the wicket, yes for a spinner, if you feel that is the best option that you want to go with and enter the match, you can go with it as well.” Let us tell you that India has a chance to eliminate Australia from the tournament. If India wins against Australia then Mitchell Marsh’s team will have to depend on the result of Bangladesh vs Afghanistan. If Afghanistan wins that match then Australia will be eliminated from the tournament.

Bowling coach Paras Mhambrey is not worried about Hardik Pandya’s poor form, said- he has faith in his ability…

However, in the T20 World Cup, Hardik Pandya has taken 5 wickets at an average of 10.20 and an economy rate of 6.37. Meanwhile, speaking in the press conference before the match against USA, Mhambrey said that Hardik has a lot of confidence in his ability and the problem with him in the IPL was that he was not in good form. Paras Mahambre said, “I think one thing I am definitely sure about is that he has faith in his ability. Sometimes in the tournament you don’t have the momentum. Sometimes, even if you try, the rhythm doesn’t come. It takes time. I think that was a phase where he didn’t have the momentum. As a bowler, you do everything, you bowl, you bowl continuously, you play so I think sometimes he couldn’t maintain his momentum. That was one of the reasons where he couldn’t maintain his rhythm.” Let us tell you that bowling coach Paras Mhambrey also gave his opinion about the victory of the Indian cricket team against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup. He said, I thought that this match would be a very stressful match. Obviously, it will be more stressful because the match is against Pakistan. You can say anything, but it will never be a normal game.
