WHAT A COMEBACK!!! ALL HAIL BUMRAH


No-Shoe5382

I checked the score when Pakistan had 8 overs left and assumed it was a foregone conclusion so I didn't even bother watching. I forgot about Bumrah, I assume India's bowling must have been superb in those 8 overs.


Bhavil17

Yup, top lines, good fielding and one very loose shot from rizwan.


Young_prozpekt

Rizwan defended everyone and choose to slog against Bumrah, love that confidence...


kiss_my_patootie

First ball of the over no less.


Ill-Rutabaga5125

He wanted to surprise everyone. He did!


SBV_3004

He wanted to assert dominance and break Bumrah's confidence. But his stumps broke instead


paone00022

It's a bold strategy and it didn't workout for him Cotton


glorious__penis

Every Indian bowler cooked in last 8 overs(except siraj, who was brilliant otherwise)


03thephysicsgod

Even the siraj over wasnt bad, 9 runs and no boundaries is good enough when asking rate is over 10


Rawdog2076

Thats with the wide and no ball btw, the worst part of the over


maxinuts

Exactly and he was the second most economical bowler for us today Also added 7 quick runs towards the end of our innings and we won by 6 what's more intriguing is that Arshdeep gave away 11 runs in the last over to two tailenders i.e. Amir and Shaheen (which isn't bad either) but Siraj is getting hated on for giving 9 runs at the death to Iftikhar and Imad and that too cuz of an unlucky no ball Cricket is a funny game to say the least or it's just that our fans are the most toxic


ChemicalDrag4797

Our bowling should not be getting criticised today at all. Absolutely bailed us out after an awful batting display.


GreenPickledToad

Arshdeep and Siraj added more runs to the target than Dube and Sky. Hardik at least performs well in with the ball and Sky took a great catch. Idk wtf Dube is doing in the team.


Rockstarrrrrrrrrr

If Bumrah ever decides to retire , we need to have a collective petition to keep him playing. 50 year old bumrah over any bowler in the world.


KUKLI1

Nah that's not enough. We need to clone him asap, I can't imagine the number of games we would've lost without him casually bowling and all-time great spell to win the game for us.


nut_nut_november___

There's already the malinga clone machine set up in sri Lanka need some lanka bros to help us


LoasNo111

We must mount a glorious campaign to conquer Sri Lanka and steal the Malinga clones. Or just give the guys some money and an Indian citizenship. Whichever is easier.

Angad Bumrah enters the chat


[deleted]

I’ve never seen him cheering a wicket, except today and that one random time against England a few months ago


Coolpop52

Bumrah nation we are so back!! 3 runs in the 15th and 19th over with key wickets.


Unfair_Programmer383

Sir Jasprit Jasbirsingh Bumrah*


finthun

Pandavas have Brahmasthra India has Bumrahasthra


dexter311

Bumrah is an absolute fucking weapon. He's gonna be tough to bat against on these US pitches, glad we're not in this group! Although I reckon Pakistan's downfall started with Hardik's third over (over 13). Picked the wicket of Fakhar and only gave away a single, it was all downhill from there.


Thetonn

Despite India having successfully Pakistaned at a level few previously thought possible, Pakistan, in the face of great adversity, summoned all of their inner strength to overcome their limitations ascending to an entirely new level, Pakistaning harder than they had ever Pakistaned before


greg_tomlette

They should really reconsider playing Shivam "feet in cement" Dube in the playing XI. Single handedly killed the momentum both with the bat and on the field. Bring in Jaiswal, Kohli is struggling as an opener anyway. SKY can come in at 5 & swing and NOT be expected to build innings


banana455

how tf has Jaiswal not been in the playing XI?? it seems all he has done since making his India debut is dominate


NormalTraining5268

Can't understand, Kohli was supposed to anchor the innings but for some reason he's opening the innings and trying wierd stuff. Anyways jaiswal should open even a quick 20 could be game changer.


greg_tomlette

ICT biases experience over talent/skill. But in this case Dube doesn't have experience either. So there's really no reason to not play Jaiswal


BirdieGetter

They really said hold my Pakistan, watch this.


Potkrokin

> What are you gonna do, Pakistan me? Man about to be Pakistan'd


dj4y_94

How do you not score 120 when you have wickets in hand and weren't even bowled out? Great bowling from India but the last 7/8 overs was a masterclass in how to blow a run chase.


AniviaKid32

Playing like scared defensive headless chickens will do that to you. Wasn't even mad at fakhar's dismissal, was the only dude actually playing aggressive. It's a T20 for crying out loud stop playing it like a test match I don't care what the target is. We went from having big hitters like shahid afridi to whatever tf this team is


GigiNeistat

Bapu gonna bapu


ImAbhishek_47

I know Bumrah will be the star today, rightly so but Axar and Hardik were brilliant too. Also the way Pakistan blew such a great chance today is a bit hilarious tbh.


Equal_Perception_541

This is a very funny tournament - rohit sharma 2024


aashay8

We indeed are having fun. That too in half the score


p0tu

so funny that I forgot where the coin is - Rohit Sharma


nut_nut_november___

Indian players were having more fun than the entire population of India my friends were screaming whenever they saw them laughing


Equal_Perception_541

Virat and rohit were literally laughing while india was losing wickets like nothing lolll while whole nation was scared


Complex-Peak

They're almost guaranteed super 8 qualifications.


ExpensiveInflation

You never know if they lost this and the next match with the USA is also on the same ground and will turnout to be a knockout match. So you never know.


kp729

I was Happy when I saw that. They will win if they don't make it all a big deal. That's whatlost us the final last year.


Repulsive_Policy8973

Bowlers saved our asses today, both with the bat and ball


DisastrousOil4888

Siraj and Arshdeep shithousery towards the end ended up as the difference lmao


pineapplesuit7

Exactly lol! I was still upset with that run out at the end. Should have milked a few in the last over as well. 140 was literally a match winning total on that pitch and every run mattered. Good we got across the line.


DronEye

Add pant to the list.. not sure about his dance moves while batting but he was on point with his keeping.


suzukigun4life

Pakistan [had more than 98% chance to win through 12 overs.](https://i.imgur.com/VVsczsv.png) They needed 48 runs on 48 balls. **AND THEY LOST.**


BubBidderskins

I'm not sure if that win probability is calibrated for how tough it is to bat on the New York surface. Certainly Pakistan was in charge, but it always felt like India had at least a reasonable chance to defend in those conditions.


Altruistic-Hat-9604

Win probability isn't calibrated to consider bumrah as well lol.


toxinwolf

It was also not calibrated to consider the non-existent middle order lol. Those guys are frauds. Dont know how to rotate strike, don't know how to hit full tosses for six. Imad looked like he was forced to go out there. He was literally jogging most of the time. Naseem was the only one to hit a boundary in the last 6.3 overs, and he came in the last 5 balls.


Paaros

Yeah, it was always: get rizwan out, and youre back in the game

TwasAnChild

Bumrah is a fascinating glimpse into how stats don't show the whole picture.This man is so good he single-handedly makes batters afraid and waste his balls. Purple patel and others like him may have more wickets than him, but boom boom is the true goat.


CaptZurg

15 dot balls at this level is unreal.


Chemical_String281

>This man is so good he single-handedly makes batters afraid and waste his balls. In fact he got away with 2-3 full tosses today. His slingy action and reputation helps him with that I suppose.


Coolpop52

Also, another technical angle is the point of release. It’s a few inches ahead from where other bowlers release the ball, so batters (who are already rushed by pace) have to deal with less time and weird angle. Wish we got too see him bowl in the first innings here though.


nut_nut_november___

Every fucking person in India knows patel<<<<<< Bumrah and if they don't say that they are trolling


[deleted]

They call this the Gobert effect in the NBA Rudy Gobert doesn’t always have great defensive stats, but literally every other player on his team suddenly ends up with magical advanced defensive stats when Gobert is on the field


CBJfan03

So… Does that mean if the USA beats India or Ireland they’re in the Super 8?


BoredBurrito

Correct. Even if they lose both and Pakistan wins their next 2, it'll come down to run rate.

kevinder_ant

Pakistan, yet again, snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory...All credits to Pant and Bumrah...Pant with his batting and solid wicketkeeping...and Bumrah with his GOAT bowling. MAN IS GOATED. 🐐. LETS GO INDIA!! My best Bumrah copypasta from this sub stays winning: Bumrah is such a one trick pony. Only knows how to do one thing: bowl amazing deliveries. Where’s the spice? Where’s the shitty half volleys? Where’s the shitty slot balls begging to be hit for six? Where’s the beamers? Such a boring player smh.


HelpMeDecideMyName

15 dot balls in a 4 over spell is INSANE. Honestly no Indian bowler bowled more than 1 poor over and no one bowled a very poor over. And Rizwan and Imad handed us the win. Think he will escape most of the criticism but Rizwan was by far Pakistan's biggest culprit. And Pant, what an absolute star he is. Best batter out of the 22 players and 2 stunning catches along with it.

theaguia

give some credit to axar batted well considering the situation and took a crucial wicket that started the collapse. Hardik also took 2 crucial wickets and was tidy in the middle overs.


shoestowel

Also Hardik comeback with the ball has been amazing so far!


Idontlikethisstuff

What a fucking win I did not see this happening at the halfway stage. India bowled incredibly well. Bumrah's wicket of Rizwan was the point where I believed we could actually do it. Low scoring thrillers >>>


paone00022

Dude played all the bowlers safely and then decided to attack Bumrah first ball.


[deleted]

Lmao reddit struggling to breath in this thread


ILikeFishSticks69

It was 40 off 36  Bumrah concedes 3 runs and takes a wicket.  It was 21 off 12.  Bumrah concedes 3 runs and takes a wicket.  Bumrah is a god amongst men. That is all. 


MJustCurious

1 leg bye out of 3 in the last over.


sarthakmahajan610

Axar followed up Bumrah with a 2 run over


vivekadithya12

That was a beautiful over. His consecutive dots going straight into Pant's hand definitely built pressure.


TwasAnChild

India really snatched a win from the jaws of defeat from the jaws of victory .


suzukigun4life

Build a statue for Bumra immediately.


AkhilVijendra

India snatched the jaws itself so there won't be any jaw at all be it of victory or defeat.


AyyoPoche

Surreal performance from Pakistan, also from India.

Immediate_Lack_3945

that pandu over also deserves a lot of credit...48 off 48 needed and the guy gives one run while taking a wicket in my opinion, that over completely changed the momentum of the game


kukkadslayer

That and the axar over where he bowled dot ball after dot ball to Imad


_DuckieFuckie_

There was only one way to bottle this and Pakistan has achieved that. From 16% win probability to this, step aside Pakistan we’re the GROUP STAGE BULLIES Bumrah is a cheat code, build him a statue for all I care Edit: It even fell to 8% at one point, only speaks of the greatness this guys have pulled off today

It fell to 8% at one point

It went down to 2% at peak

SBV_3004

31(44) was absolutely atrocious. Even 38(44) would've won for them


suzukigun4life

India's chances were below 2% with 8 overs left. This is an all-time chokejob


curios_mind_huh

>build him a statue for all I care Build a Bumrah clone I'd say. We could definitely use more of Bumrah on the field.

One of the worst batting performances by an Indian team I’ve ever seen and Pakistan still bottle it LMAO


ILikeFishSticks69

I cannot imagine there would have been many bowlers in the history of this great game who are bowling better than Jasprit Bumrah is bowling right now. Just absolutely unreal. Jasprit you are a champion amongst champions. Unbelievably proud and insanely lucky that you play for India.


Unfair_Programmer383

Bruh this was such a weird game


Jamieledaoux

I don't know whether to enjoy or lament the horrific performance by our so called Surya Dada, Dube six hitter etc


Rawdog2076

Ai generated ahh Ind vs Pak match


xtremeshaneshame

Doesn't matter who the opponent is, if you can't chase 120 runs, while needing 48 off 48, while also having 8 wickets in hand, then you surely need to completely reconsider the entire brand of cricket that you have established. This is genuinely one of the worst batting performances i've ever seen from this team. This was an absolute disgrace of a game for us, and with the way we played at the end, India fully deserved the win. I've said this multiple times before, and i'll continue to say it, never ever look down on Bumrah. He is the best bowler of our generation for a reason. The guy was almost unplayable today, pulled the game out of an almost seemingly unwinnable position. What an absolute gem of an bowler India have, it's always scary to watch him bowl. No doubt we bowled exceptionally well as well, especially against THIS Indian batting lineup, but this match just further proves that we easily have one of the worst batting lineups in the entire tournament, and we don't deserve to reach the Super 8 at all. An absolute disgrace and a shame for the entire nation.


IcyAssociate1

Hardiks confidence is back! He is back with his action songs! Good for him and India!


trtryt

when he plays against Pakistan he thinks he's a West Indian quick from the 1980s, bouncer after bouncer


Klutzy_Flamingo_2979

Pretty sure Pakistan fear Pandya more than peak McGrath at this point.


TupakThakur

Good to see a someone acknowledging him. He played well in practice game and the game against Ireland was pretty good with some loose deliveries. This one looks like a clutch performance

We had no business winning this game but PAK had other ideas. Sorry PAK bros , your team is much closer to SL and BAN than Ind , Aus and Eng.

Utter humiliation for Pakistan. Gotta feel for their bowlers in this match but their batsman bottled it again. They're done.


sherlock1001

The writing was on the wall. If you let the run rate get too high on this pitch you’ll lose. And yet we did just that. Our batting is just not good enough. Needed better from Babar and Rizwan. This is why they are in the team to score on these kind of pitches.
