Bumrah has impressed with an economy rate of 6.3 in the Super Eights. He has conceded only three sixes in the tournament. India has used him flexibly in different matches. Gavaskar said dismissing key batters like Jos Buttler and Harry Brook early could tilt the match.

He also praised Bumrah’s ability to hide variations. Gavaskar noted that the pacer keeps adding new skills to his bowling. He compared reading Bumrah’s deliveries to how Andre Agassi decoded Boris Becker’s serve. He said Bumrah offers no visible clues to batters.

Gavaskar warned about England all-rounder Will Jacks, who has excelled with bat and ball. He said pitch conditions will decide his impact. Gavaskar added that India’s right-handers must handle him carefully in the semi-final.
