At the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, Bumrah, Shami and Siraj made the new ball talk in such a great manner that Sri Lanka were bowled out for just 55 in 19.4 overs. Bumrah set the tone for a sensational fast-bowling performance to be remembered for ages by trapping Pathum Nissanka lbw on the very first ball of the second innings and had figures of 1-8 in five overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Siraj made up for an indifferent time in the tournament by bamboozling the batters with swing and seam to take 3-16 in seven overs. But it was Shami who shined the brightest by taking 5-18 in five overs, making him India's highest wicket-taker in ODI World Cups.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The victory in Mumbai is also India\u2019s seventh successive win on the trot in the competition and also the third time of India dismissing Sri Lanka for a score less than 100 in ODIs this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe ball on which (Jasprit) Bumrah got Pathum Nissanka out could well be the ball of the tournament. The ball swung away and rapped his pad. After that, (Mohammed) Siraj was given the ball. The last time round, he had taken six wickets against them and here he took three. He was breathing fire.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAfter this, it was time for \u2018Sensational Shami\u2019 to take over. Well, he\u2019s spectacular, scintillating and unbelievable. He now has 45 wickets in World Cups in just 14 matches. He took five wickets in this game. Had he been given the new ball, he\u2019d have taken seven. Mohammed Shami was just unbelievable.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAll the pace bowlers turn their wrist, use scrambled seam, bowl slower ones, but Shami bowls seam up and gets the ball to move at will. Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah. This is the best bowling attack that India have ever had in a World Cup,\" said Chopra in the latest episode of JioCinema\u2019s daily sports show \u2018#AAKASHVANI.\u2019<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the afternoon, India made 357\/8, with Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer smashing knocks of 92, 88 and 82 respectively. Chopra felt Iyer\u2019s aggressive knock was important as India went past 350-mark.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIn my opinion, the most important knock of the day was played by Shreyas Iyer. The way he batted, he could have stayed cautious. But no, that\u2019s not what he did. He began hitting sixes and proved that if there\u2019s intent then the same bowlers on the same pitch can end up delivering different results. He was absolutely stellar.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Now on top of the points table with 14 points, India\u2019s next match in the Men\u2019s ODI World Cup will be against a power-packed in-form South Africa at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/11\/mens-odi-wc-this-is-the-best-bowling-attack-that-india-have-ever-had-in-a-world-cup-says-aakash-chopra.jpg", "alt_img": "Men\u2019s ODI WC: This is the best bowling attack that India have ever had in a World Cup, says Aakash C", "alt_title": "Mumbai: The ICC Men's Cricket World Cup match between India and Sri Lanka", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Men\u2019s ODI WC: This Is The Best Bowling Attack That India Have Ever Had In A World Cup, Says Aakash Chopra On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Men\u2019s ODI WC: This Is The Best Bowling Attack That India Have Ever Had In A World Cup, Says Aakash Chopra, ODI World Cup: After fast-bowling trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj led India\u2019s march into the semi-finals.", "seo_keywords": "World Cup, Aakash Chopra, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, ODI World Cup, Sri Lanka, Wankhede Stadium, Pathum Nissanka, ODI World Cups, Sensational Shami, World Cups, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, South Africa, Eden Gardens", "tag": "", "tagging": "World Cup, Aakash Chopra, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, ODI World Cup, Sri Lanka, Wankhede Stadium, Pathum Nissanka, ODI World Cups, Sensational Shami, World Cups, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, South Africa, Eden Gardens", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "mens-odi-wc-this-is-the-best-bowling-attack-that-india-have-ever-had-in-a-world-cup-says-aakash-chopra", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1005", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2023-11-03 12:28:03", "updated": "2023-11-03 12:28:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "World Cup, Aakash Chopra, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, ODI World Cup, Sri Lanka, Wankhede Stadium, Pathum Nissanka, ODI World Cups, Sensational Shami, World Cups, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, South Africa, Eden Gardens", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-11-03 12:28:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/mens-odi-wc-this-is-the-best-bowling-attack-that-india-have-ever-had-in-a-world-cup-says-aakash-chopra-131619" }
