Former India cricketer Saba Karim opined that India cannot afford even one bad day from Jasprit Bumrah. "If Bumrah has an off day, India's strength gets reduced by at least 40% to 45%," he added, noting that India won T20 World Cup 2024 mainly because of Bumrah's crucial overs. Bumrah finished as the joint-highest wicket-taker of T20 World Cup 2026.
