"Pretty Much Know Who No.1 Is Going To Be": Dinesh Karthik On Cricket World Cup 2023 Semis Line-Up
Wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik firmly believes that India's thumping victory over England, their sixth victory in a row, is sufficient to seal their place in the semifinals of the World Cup. India scored 229/9 after some hiccups in the low-scoring game and it proved to be enough as England lost their top batters to the fiery bowling spell of Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah. India won by 100 runs. "I think with this win and with what happened yesterday (Australia defeating New Zealand), we are locked in for the four semi-finalists. It could be a tournament where it has been decided early and it looks more likely it will be the case unless something extraordinary happens, which I personally don't think will happen," Kathik said in ICC Review.
"He Is One Of The Legends": Jasprit Bumrah On Mohammed Shami After Cricket World Cup 2023 Win Over England
Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah lauded Mohammed Shami for his bowling in the World Cup match against England, calling him a "legend of the game" and said he enjoys the partnership. The Indian pace duo of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami led England's demolition as they picked up top four wickets in a space of few runs. After the pacers wrecked England's batting, India won the low-scoring game easily. Replying to India's score of 229, England lost all their wickets on 129. "He is outstanding. He is, you know, one of the legends of the game. I feel he has always been quite calm. He doesn't come out to be flamboyant, but the way he was bowling as if he was playing a Test match and [it] was really, really wonderful to see," Bumrah told Sky Sports after the game.
