Bumrah Gave Blueprint On How Bowlers Should Bowl, Says Steyn
The South African: Legendary pacer Dale Steyn lauded Jasprit Bumrah’s 5-27 performance against South Africa in the first Test, noting that Bumrah's precise bowling areas provided a blueprint for success on Eden Gardens’ pitch.
Bumrah’s carnage reduced South Africa to 159 in their first innings in just over two sessions after opting to bat first in the first Test of the series.
"Bumrah was the blueprint for the day in terms of how bowlers should bowl, not just because of his wickets. If you watch the areas he bowled and how he bowled, that’s exactly how the South Africans should look to bowl. He hit the deck hard, didn’t bowl many half-volleys, targeted the stumps, and gave away very little. That’s the blueprint if you want to be successful on this type of pitch. If you follow that, you get the rewards like he did with his five-wicket haul,” Steyn said on JioStar’s ‘Cricket Live’.
