Sachin Tendulkar states that Japrit Bumrah will play a crucial role in the upcoming match: The former cricketer said,” I was told that when a bowler is bowling well, stand at the non-striker’s end (laughs). Jokes apart, Bumrah is a world-class bowler, his action is slightly awkward, I have played him in the nets and his action is awkward. He is quicker than you think. He hits the bat hard so one can say because his action is odd, you get less time to react.” He also added that Ishant Sharma would provide guidance for the WTC match as he is an experienced player that “understands the conditions in England better than anyone else.”
