Rohit Sharma: Jasprit Bumrah was simply magnificent

India captain Rohit Sharma heaped praise on pacer Jasprit Bumrah, saying that his performance in the second Test against Sri Lanka was ‘magnificent’. In India’s 238-run win over Sri Lanka in the pink-ball Test at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bumrah had an overall match haul of 8-47, including a maiden five-wicket haul at home in the first innings, excelling on a pitch where spinners were earmarked to do well.


“Bumrah’s performance was magnificent, without a doubt. To come out and bowl like that in these conditions shows how many skills and abilities he has. Someone like Bumrah is never out of the game. Whatever the conditions are, he is always in the game. It gives the captain a lot of benefit in rotating the bowlers and get the best out of each bowler when you have a quality player like Bumrah in the team,” said Sharma in the post-match virtual press conference.


Rohit explained how Bumrah can perform well in different conditions irrespective of home and away venues. “He understands the conditions really well, that is his plus point. To bowl on certain pitches, you need certain skill sets and he seems to be bringing the skillsets into the conditions and in the game, depending on what sort of offer he has from the pitch.”


Captain Rohit’s unbeaten run

Ever since Rohit Sharma became India's designated captain across all three formats, the Mumbaikar has tasted rich success. Here's a lowdown:
>> T20Is: 3-0 v New Zealand, 3-0 v West Indies, 3-0 v Sri Lanka
>> ODIs: 3-0 v West Indies
>> Tests: 2-0 v Sri Lanka
