'Can’t Put A Finger And Say Why He Hasn’t Taken Wickets': Jayawardene Backs Bumrah Amid Bowling Woes
After Mumbai Indians: After Mumbai Indians' fourth consecutive loss, head coach Mahela Jayawardene offered a staunch defense of pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah for not being among the wickets so far in five matches and said "he can’t put a finger and 'say why he hasn’t taken wickets.'"
In five matches so far, Bumrah has struggled to make an impact as he has conceded 164 runs and remained wicketless. In the match against Punjab Kings on Thursday, he leaked runs at an economy rate of 10.20, conceding 41 runs in his four-over quota.
“Boom is bowling well. We are not putting pressure in the power play. They (oppositions) know they don’t need to take risks against Boom. We have tried a few things, which he trying as well. They are batting well. Can’t put a finger and say why he hasn’t taken wickets," Jayawardene said at the post-match press conference.
