Even after that fiery knock against the world’s top bowlers called Bumrah, there had been a fight between them.
Bumrah too loses his cool as no other batsman had checked his temper in the last many years. But then this guy came from being ignored from ICT (Indian Cricket Team) and also overshadowed by young players. He still manages to hit those 26 runs against Bumrah and in just 9 balls.
Where the world’s top batsman Virat is struggling to make quick strike rate runs.
The thing to mention is, Karun Nair was also on the safe side because he didn’t do that intentionally.
