Not only that, scoring runs against Bumrah has never been this tough with the pacer having an economy rate of just 4.13. Bumrah played a very crucial role with the ball against arch-rivals as team India clinched a low scoring thriller.

Hardik Pandya has one of the best batting averages in the T20 World Cup 2024. The right-handed batter has amassed 139 runs in just 5 innings with his strike rate being 149.56. The pacer has also been amongst the wickets in the ongoing tournament.
Kuldeep Yadav
In the semi-final clash against England, Kuldeep Yadav wreaked havoc on England’s middle-order by getting the wickets of Harry Brook, Sam Curran and Chris Jordan. The left-arm spinner has been very consistent with his line and lengths throughout the tournament. So far, Kuldeep has scalped 10 wickets in just 4 games.
Axar Patel
Axar won the Player of the Match award after he got the wickets of Jos Buttler, Moeen Ali and Jonny Bairstow to finish with figures of 4-0-19-3 in the all-important semi-final match against England. Bowling with the new ball, the left-arm spinner has not leaked runs in the field restrictions. Patel has also played some decent cameos with the bat as well.
