Jasprit Bumrah is a young Lasith Malinga all over again. With a slew of variations, the Indian pacer is virtually impossible to get away and is now becoming one of the most threatening T20 bowlers in World cricket. He was at it again in a rain-curtailed deciding ODI against the Kiwis at Trivandrum.
Chasing 68 to win, New Zealand were pegged back when Colin Munro, their hero from the last game, got frustrated by Bumrah's length and went for a non-existent loft of a short of a length delivery. Rohit Sharma pouched a spectacular catch and India had their tails up. Bumrah returned to get rid of Henry Nicholls in a 10 run over, four of which came in byes. He ended with figures of 2-0-9-2, decisive in the context of a shortened game.
