Top 3 Best Bowling Displays by Indian Batters in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024
3. Jasprit Bumrah – 3/14 vs Pakistan in Group Stage
India vs Pakistan games always come up with a lot of pressure, and it is very hard to play under such pressures. The game between India and Pakistan in the group stage was somehow similar. India were bowled out for 119. Pakistan were 72/2 and needed 48 runs off 46 balls. Bumrah bowled a brilliant ball to dismiss Mohammad Rizwan, and then he dismissed Iftikhar Rahman when India were under pressure in the 19th over. Bumrah took 3/14 to win the game for India and was named Man of the Match.
2. Axar Patel – 3/23 vs England in Semifinal
Who can remember the way India thrashed defending champion England in the semifinal? They took revenge for the 2022 semifinal when England knocked India out and won by 10 wickets. And it was possible because of the unbelievable spell of Axar Patel. He took 3/23 and dismissed Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, and Moeen Ali to break the bone of English batting. India made 171/7 and dismissed England for 103 runs in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 semifinal. Axar won the Man of the Match awards.
3. Jasprit Bumrah – 2/18 vs South Africa in Final
Fans have always criticised Jasprit Bumrah for not performing on the big stage. But it was Jasprit Bumrah’s second spell in the final against South Africa that brought India to the game. India posted a total of 176/7. Bumrah dismissed Rezza Hendricks in this first over. Then, in his second spell, he gave away just 6 runs in two overs and dismissed Marco Jansen when South Africa needed 30 runs off five overs. Bumrah finished with 2/18, and India pulled off a stunning win by 7 runs to win the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
