Former India head coach Ravi Shastri extolled Jasprit Bumrah's extraordinary skills with the ball, calling his performances in the T20 World Cup standout moments for India, particularly against Pakistan and South Africa.

India successfully defended a modest target of 119 against arch-rivals Pakistan, thanks to Bumrah's vital dismissal of Mohammad Rizwan, which sent Pakistan's innings into a tailspin. In the final against South Africa, Bumrah's spell in the death overs turned the game in India's favor, taking the pivotal wicket of Marco Jansen.

Shastri, speaking in the ICC Review, likened Bumrah to cricket greats Shane Warne and Wasim Akram. He also highlighted Suryakumar Yadav's game-changing catch and marveled at Rishabh Pant's remarkable comeback after a severe car accident.
