"India Without Jasprit Bumrah Means..": Ex-India Batting Coach On How Rivals With See Star Pacer's Absence In T20 World Cup

India's build-up to the 2022 T20 World Cup has been marred by injuries to a couple of top players. If Ravindra Jadeja's knee injury robbed India of a solid allrounder, Jasprit Bumrah's back injury meant that India would be without its pace spearhead in the marquee event. After making a comeback in the T20I series against Australia, following a lengthy rehabilitation, Bumrah again missed the T20I series against South Africa. He was then ruled out of the T20 World Cup.

The second-string Indian team would look for some stability from its openers as the hosts aim to punch above their weight and seal a memorable series victory against South Africa in the third and final ODI in New Delhi on Tuesday.
