Du Plessis: Bumrah in the XI is 'like having a genie'

Faf du Plessis, former South African captain, praised Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, referring to him as a 'superpower' for any captain. His comments came after Bumrah's outstanding performance in the T20 World Cup semi-final against England, where he delivered a crucial 18th over that significantly shifted the momentum in favor of India. Du Plessis emphasized that having Bumrah in the lineup is akin to having a 'genie' at one's disposal, underlining the bowler's exceptional skills and ability to change the course of a match. Bumrah's prowess has made him a pivotal figure in India's bowling attack, contributing to the team's success on the international stage. As India prepares for the final stages of the tournament, Bumrah's form and fitness will be vital in their quest for the T20 World Cup title, making him one of the players to watch.
