The current IPL season has been extremely disappointing for India's star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. Representing Mumbai Indians, he took only 4 wickets in 13 matches and did not take more than one wicket in any match.
The figures are quite alarming. He gave away a total of 294 runs, had an economy rate of 8.37, a bowling average of 102.50 and a strike rate of 73.50. Due to this performance, he became the first bowler in IPL history to give away more than 100 runs for each wicket. This record is compiled on the basis of bowlers who completed at least 40 overs.
Experts say that the opposing batters adopted a very cautious strategy against Bumrah and avoided unnecessary shots, due to which wickets did not come. This is also a sign that the opposing teams in T20 cricket are now playing more thoughtfully against big bowlers.
