Jasprit Bumrah under scrutiny? Ashwin breaks silence on Bumrah's dry spells

Cricket

Shocking stats

“0 wickets and yet still MI’s main weapon?” Jasprit Bumrah hasn’t taken a wicket in 5 matches, surprising fans. But stats don’t always tell the whole story.

Bumrah has bowled over 100 balls without a wicket, which is rare for him. Fans on social media are calling it a “form dip.”

What did he say?

Ashwin said Bumrah’s real strength is bowling yorkers and stopping runs, especially at Wankhede. He believes this is more valuable than just taking wickets.

He further added

Ashwin said if a bowler can’t bowl consecutive overs, they rely on partners to set them up for wickets. He added that teamwork in T20 bowling is still developing.

Others not supporting him?

Mumbai Indians’ bowlers aren’t giving enough support, so there’s less pressure from the other end and fewer wicket chances for Bumrah.

Ashwin thinks Bumrah is doing his job well by building pressure. He says wickets will come once the whole bowling unit works together.

Comeback loading?

Calm before the storm? Bumrah may have no wickets, but he’s still effective. One good match could change everything. Could a big comeback be on the way?
