Jasprit Bumrah was all praises for Shivam Dube after his crucial knock against the West Indies sealed the chase for India in the virtual quarter-final clash. While it was a chase perfectly steered by Sanju Samson, Dube came to the crease with the defending champions facing a tricky situation.

Dube seals the deal for India

India needed 17 runs off 10 deliveries when Dube came to the crease. Hardik Pandya, one of India’s most experienced played had gone back to the pavilion, making the chase trickier for the hosts. But the left-handed batter managed to keep a cool head and struck a couple of fours in the first three balls he faced. He flicked a low full-toss to mid-wicket on the first ball. The next ball, he opened the bat face to a yorker and timed it perfectly, but found the fielder at backward point. On the third ball, Dube repeated the same shot from the previous delivery. This time around, he found the gap and reduced the equation to nine runs required of seven balls.

Jasprit Bumrah, while speaking to the ICC presenter and his wife, Sanjana Ganesan, talked about how the fours hit by Dube helped in relieving the pressure being felt not only by the two batters in the middle but also by the whole team. 

Bumrah also went on to speak about Sanju Samson, who was named the Player of the Match for his unbeaten knock of 97 runs.
