If They Try To Get Me Out, I will Counter Them: Smith On Bouncers Of Indian Pacers
Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah's use of searing short-pitched deliveries in the just-concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) may have set the alarm bells ringing in the Australian camp. Though premier Australia batsman Steve Smith brushed aside such concerns, Bumrah's recent success with the short ball sets up hopes of a mouth-watering contest.
Among Bumrah's IPL scalps with short-pitched deliveries were Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Nicholas Pooran, Ambati Rayudu, Shivam Dube, and Andre Russell. Bumrah on occasions, like in the case of Rayudu, never shied away from pounding the batsman with short deliveries till the batsman gave in.
