Ravichandran Ashwin defends Jasprit Bumrah's impact beyond wickets in IPL. RCB posts 240/4. Key details on bowling strategy and team performance.
Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has defended seasoned seamer Jasprit Bumrah, who remains wicketless after four outings in the current IPL season. Royal Challengers Bengaluru amassed a formidable 240/4 against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium.
Ashwin highlighted that Bumrah's role in stifling the opposition for runs is more critical than his wicket tally. He pointed out that bowling in partnerships as a defensive unit is an underdeveloped aspect of T20 bowling strategies.
RCB's innings saw rapid half-centuries from Phil Salt and Rajat Patidar, supported by Virat Kohli, powering them to a high total after being put in to bat by MI skipper Hardik Pandya. Tim David's late cameo also contributed to the score.
