New Delhi: Â Jasprit Bumrah’s absence is a “big loss” for India, but Mohammed Shami can more than fill the void with his speed and skill sets, in the ICC T20 World Cup, feels Sachin Tendulkar.
Bumrah, who is out for an indefinite period of time due to a stress fracture on his back, was replaced in the main squad by Shami, who hasn’t played a single T20I match since the last edition of World Cup in the UAE.
However, the crafty 32-year-old from Amroha dispelled all doubts about his fitness with a splendid three-wicket burst in the 20th over, ensuring India’s six-run win over Australia in a warm-up game in Birsbane on Monday.
