NEW DELHI: Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah once again proved his mettle in the T20 World Cup final against South Africa. Living up to his reputation, Bumrah delivered an early breakthrough for his team, much to the delight of his fans.
The pacer's consistent performance has been a key factor in India's success, and he continues to be a reliable asset for the team.
Bumrah's ability to strike early and put pressure on the opposition has been instrumental in setting the tone for India's bowling unit.
In his first over, Bumrah produced a gem of a delivery to leave South African opener Reeza Hendricks clueless. The right-arm pacer bowled a perfect outswinger to rattle Hendricks' off stump.

Reeza tended not to move his feet and got beaten on the outside edge while looking to defend with a straight bat.
Earlier, Virat Kohli delivered when India needed him the most, making 76 as South Africa were set a target of 177 to win in the final at Kensington Oval on Saturday.
India captain Rohit Sharma had won the toss and opted to bat and if the aim was to put South Africa under pressure it certainly worked with Kohli, who has struggled for form in the tournament, delivering a measured and controlled knock.
Kohli and Axar Patel put on a partnership of 74 which was the foundation of a total of 176-7 that will prove challenging for South Africa before Shivam Dube helped step the tempo up at the end with 27 off 16 balls.
