Jasprit Bumrah can be the man for India: Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar has been in the limelight for the most part prior to the World T20 2016. The former master-blaster, in addition to providing his invaluable analysis, has been throwing light on every possible talking point within the Indian team. The most recent analysis done by Tendulkar was the importance of Jasprit Bumrah in the side.

Sachin Tendulkar is certainly no stranger to the youngster’s bowling. In fact, it was Tendulkar who introduced Bumrah to the World by giving him the confidence and ample opportunities to perform in the iconic jersey of the Mumbai Indians. Jasprit Bumrah, in all his infinite wisdom, took the opportunity with both hands to become a regular in the Mumbai Indians side.

His ability to bowl the odd yorker and trouble the batsman with his fearsome pace has now seen him become an integral part of India’s World T20 campaign. He has joined up with Ashish Nehra and Hardik Pandya to become perhaps the most formidable bowling attack in the current World T20.

Tendulkar however, has seen Bumrah as a completely different commodity in the current scheme of things. Speaking on the 23-year old seamer, Tendulkar said,” As far as the ‘game changer’ is concerned, I fell Jasprit Bumrah is the man for India.”

The Champions of 2007 will begin their World T20 campaign against New Zealand. The Indians will be hoping to break the T20 hoodoo the Kiwis have against them. They are yet to overwhelm the Black Caps in T20 internationals. Whether they beat New Zealand in the opening encounter, however, remains to be seen.
