T20 WC: Jasprit Bumrah Wins ‘impact Player Of The Match’ Medal After India’s Win Over WI
T20 World Cup: India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah was adjudged the ‘Impact Player of the Match’ after a decisive spell helped India maintain the West Indies to a chaseable target before Sanju Samson’s unbeaten 97 helped the defending champions secure a crucial victory in their T20 World Cup clash on Sunday at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Bumrah returned figures of 2/36 from his four overs. While the numbers may not fully reflect his influence, the timing of his breakthroughs proved pivotal. In the 12th over of the innings, with the West Indies looking to accelerate, Bumrah struck twice, removing the dangerous Shimron Hetmyer and Roston Chase, to derail the Caribbean side’s momentum and tilt the contest firmly in India’s favour.
His ability to deliver in pressure situations once again underlined why he remains India’s go-to bowler in crunch moments. The twin strikes not only stemmed the flow of runs but also exposed the middle order, allowing India to tighten the screws in the death overs.
