IND vs ENG: Bumrah can be India's 'X factor' against England in the semi-finals
Jasprit Bumrah, India vs England, T20 World Cup 2024: This time Rohit Brigade also has the support of his 'Brahmastra' i.e. Jasprit Bumrah. In the last T20 World Cup, Bumrah was out of the tournament due to injury, due to which India had to pay the price with a humiliating defeat in the knockout match.
For the second consecutive time, Team India has made it to the semis of the T20 World Cup. In this fight against England, Jasprit Bumrah can turn out to be that 'X factor' for India—barring the fact that on 10 November 2022, despite breaking the heart of Indian fans, the British not only did so but also presented a humiliating defeat to the Indian team; Bumrah was not in that match due to an injury.
Now, India has a chance to settle every account. It has been almost two years since this match, but this defeat still hurts the country. In that match played in Adelaide, England defeated India by ten wickets to make it to the final and win the title.
But many things have changed between then and now. This time, Rohit Brigade also gets the support of their 'Brahmastra', i.e., Jasprit Bumrah. This time, Bumrah was out of the last T-20 World Cup due to some injuries, because of which India had to pay the price of a shameful defeat in a knock-out match.
This time, many things have changed. The England team has also reached the semi-finals in the current tournament, but this tournament was full of ups and downs for them. Under the leadership of Jos Buttler, England played four matches in the group stage, out of which they won two; in one, they had to taste a big defeat.
At the same time, England had to face defeat in one match in Super-8. On the other hand, the Indian team has won all of its matches by performing strongly. Rohit Sharma and company have been on top in both the group stage and the Super-8.
Now, it will be the turn of Australia-facing team India, who are going to get the opportunity to two-year-old defeat avenging. This time, the expectation from team India is that they will not only make it to the finals but will also return with the trophy. Remember, this time, Team India also has Jasprit Bumrah backing it in the fray, who was out of the last T20 World Cup due to injury.
