Ever since making his return in international return, Jasprit Bumrah has showcased top-notch form and in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, has taken his performances to another level altogether.

In four World Cup 2023 matches for India, Bumrah has claimed 11 wickets at an average of 13.40, which includes a stellar outing against Bangladesh in Pune on a flat deck last evening. Used as a wicket-taking option in the middle-order, Burmah pinched Bangladesh batters for runs and stopped a dangerous-looking Mahmudullah as well in the death overs. 

The lanky pacer yorked the Bangladesh batter on 46, which found special praise from former India fast bowler Zaheer Khan.

Speaking on Cricbuzz about the coolest moment of the match, Khan who has worked closely with Bumrah in Mumbai Indians (MI) stated how the dismissal is a sight to behold for anyone. The 2011 World Cup winner also explained where Mahmudullah went wrong, and got knocked over.


Here's what Khan said

"Because of his yorker, and by the time, the bat came in, the ball had already taken the stumps. That is something you always get excited about. 

"And Bumrah, bowling the way he is bowling in this world cup, and that one particular yorker which he bowled is always gonna get everyone excited about. About a bowler, running in, running in hard, bowling at a very fast pace and taking the stumps is a sight to always enjoy."

Bumrah will be in action on Sunday when India clash sword against New Zealand at Dharamsala, where the conditions will be helpful to pacers.
