Kanpur
\nIndia batsman Rohit Sharma feels pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are the world\u2019s best death bowlers and have contributed significantly to the recent limited-overs success of the team. While Kumar proved expensive in the series decider against New Zealand, Bumrah bowled brilliantly in the death overs to stop the visitors at 331\/7 in response to India\u2019s 337\/6.<\/p>\n
New Zealand, needing 30 off the last 18 balls with five wickets in hand, were on course for their maiden series win in India before Bumrah dashed their hopes with a match-winning spell. \u201cI think we have the two best death bowlers. If you look at the last series against Australia, the way they bowled, you have to praise them a lot,\u201d said Sharma. \u201cIn this match, there was so much dew, the ball was wet. On this wicket, in these conditions, 34 required in four overs, it should have been made easily. It\u2019s only because of these two that we could pull the game back.\u201d In the series against Australia, Steve Smith too had rated Bumrah and Kumar among the best in the business.<\/p>\n
Sharma said the bowlers had delivered under pressure many times in the recent past. \u201cWhenever they are put under pressure, they know how to come back. It\u2019s not happened once, it has happened many times now. It\u2019s a good thing for the team going forward,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
