IND vs SL Series: Who will partner Jasprit Bumrah? – Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja believes Harshal Patel would be a perfect candidate to team up with Jasprit Bumrah at the 2022 T20 World Cup. Harshal was phenomenal during the recently concluded T20I series against West Indies. He bowled brilliantly in the middle overs and got the job done in the crucial death overs.

While speaking to Cricbuzz Ajay Jadeja opined that based on current form, Harshal should be bowler bowling in tandem with Bumrah.
“The more you play Harshal, people will get used to something. They keep watching you and the pattern of your bowling – when do you bowl slower ones and yorkers.”If you expose him more, he might be less effective. But Australia grounds are huge, where he would be very useful. At this moment, if the Indian team had to be picked, you’ll probably write his name alongside Bumrah,” Ajay Jadeja said.

“The T20 World Cup is a long way away but he is definitely a tick for the World Cup at this stage,” Ajay Jadeja added.
The cricketer-turned-expert also said that the right-arm pacer has grabbed his chances and performed well in all the matches he has so far played for India.
“From the time he has come into the Indian team, he has done everything right. Rohit has used him brilliantly as well, bringing him in those crucial overs once the field spreads. Every time he feels like he needs a wicket, he brings him on, which is very clever,” Jadeja said.
