Jasprit Bumrah's Short Ball Leaves Ishan Kishan In Pain Ahead of India's Final Cricket World Cup League Stage Game

Ishan Kishan slumped to the field with a painful grunt as Jasprit Bumrah's slightly short of length delivery thudded onto his stomach. It took him a few minutes to recover and resume the training in Bengaluru on Wednesday. Shubman Gill was at his best, while clobbering pacers Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna into the stands. But the Indian opener had to restrain himself once Bumrah tested his skills with an assortment of slower balls and in the channel outside the off-stump.

"Sharm Karo Yaar...": Mohammed Shami Blasts Ex-Pakistan Star Over 'Cheating' Claims At Cricket World Cup

The ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 has seen its share of controversies. For Angelo Mathews' timed out dismissal to Glenn Maxwell criticising the mid-mat light shows, the Cricket World Cup have witnessed moments where things did not go smoothly. Former Pakistan cricket team player Hasan Raza, during a discussion on ABN News, claimed that the Indian bowlers are getting different balls, and urged the International Cricket Council (ICC) to inspect the balls used by the Rohit Sharma-led side.

Mohammed Shami was once again at his best as the Indian team decimated South Africa in a World Cup 2023 match on Sunday. Shami, who didn't play for India until an injury ruled Hardik Pandya out of the team, bagged two wickets as the Proteas were bundled out for just 83 runs at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. While India are undoubtedly the most in-form team in the tournament, to see their bowlers outplay South African batters to such an extent was a surprise for many. In fact, after the game, Shami even decided to troll Temba Bavuma's side on live TV.

From outside, Virat Kohli's record equalling 101 off 121 balls against South Africa on Sunday might look a bit laborious, but Indian captain Rohit Sharma termed the innings as one that suited the conditions and the match situation. Kohli's 49th ODI hundred paved the way for India's 326 for five on a slightly diffident Eden Gardens pitch, which proved way over the par in the end. "If you look at how we have played in the last three games, we have adapted better. Today, we needed Kohli to go out there and play to the situation. We then knew we had to keep it in the right areas (with the ball) and let the pitch do the rest," said Rohit during the post-match presentation.

Australia great Ricky Ponting has said India bowlers also have left a strong impact in many of the Men in Blue's resounding victories in the ongoing ICC World Cup and believes that opposing teams will have to work hard to hold the formidable bowling pace trio. With their eighth consecutive win, India moved to the top of the points table. India have their three bowlers among the top 10 wicket-takers at the tournament - Mohammad Shami (16), Jasprit Bumrah (15) and Ravindra Jadeja (14).

With apologies to the pacers wreaking havoc, spinners baring their fangs, and batters bossing around, it would be fair to say that the Indian juggernaut in this World Cup is not just about explosive performances on the field. The great Wasim Akram thinks it would take an "extraordinary effort" to halt India's charge but reminded about their ICC title drought every step of the way, skipper Rohit Sharma and his ambitious colleagues very well know that their job is only half done. India became the first team to reach the World Cup semifinals with a 302-run rout of Sri Lanka on Thursday night, their seventh win on the trot. They are in the middle of a dream run but Rohit and his men will eventually be judged on their performances in the knock-out stages, their achilles heel over the past decade.
