Team India’s dashing opener Rohit Sharma on Sunday showered accolades on Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar and said that they are the world’s best death bowlers. Bumrah bowled superbly in the last One-day International against New Zealand to stop the visitors at 331 for seven in response to India’s 337 for six. New Zealand, needing 30 off the last 18 balls with five wickets in hand, were on course for a famous series win before Bumrah dashed their hopes with a match-winning spell.
“I think we have the two best death bowlers. If you look at the last series against Australia, the way they have bowled, you have to praise them a lot. Because if you look at Australia’s batting, with their power hitting, those were the two bowlers who got us back most of the times,” said Rohit after India sealed the series 2-1.
“Even in this match there was so much dew, the ball was wet to be able to defend on that kind of wicket, with two set batsmen. We are talking about two best death bowlers in world currently. On this wicket, in these conditions, 35 required in four overs, it should have been made easily. It’s only because of these two that we could pull the game back” he added further.
