Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar praised Jasprit Bumrah's batting performance during the third Test against England at Lord's. Manjrekar highlighted Bumrah's resilience, facing a barrage of bouncers from England's pace attack for nearly two hours.
While acknowledging Ravindra Jadeja's defensive effort, Manjrekar believed Bumrah's contribution with the bat was the true highlight of their partnership. He emphasized how Bumrah's dedicated net sessions had clearly paid dividends.
This display of lower-order batting grit from Bumrah could prove invaluable for his IPL franchise in tight situations. His ability to absorb pressure and contribute crucial runs adds another dimension to his already formidable bowling skills.

“The real star in that partnership, though, was Jasprit Bumrah. He stayed out there for one hour and 40 minutes against high-quality fast bowling, facing bouncers, and it was remarkable to see how his net sessions with the bat finally paid off.”
