Tendulkar Commends Bumrah’s Performance, Focuses on Fielding Lapses

After Jasprit Bumrah’s stellar performance at Headingley, Sachin Tendulkar commended the bowler’s efforts. Bumrah’s five-wicket haul gave India a significant advantage and earned praise from the cricket icon. Tendulkar highlighted that the result could have been even more impressive had it not been for fielding errors. Bumrah started strong by dismissing Zak Crawley and later took the crucial wicket of Joe Root. The tail-enders Chris Woakes and Josh Tongue were also quickly dismissed. However, missed opportunities, including a no-ball and dropped catches, allowed England to lessen India’s advantage. Despite this, Bumrah remained composed and delivered consistently. His focus helped steady the attack while other bowlers struggled. This achievement marked Bumrah’s 14th five-wicket haul in Tests, 12th overseas, equaling Kapil Dev’s record. His performance provided India with momentum and confidence for the remainder of the match.
