India vs England, 2nd Semi-Final: India defeated England by 7 runs in the semi-finals of T20 World Cup. The hero of this victory was Sanju Samson, who scored 89 runs in 42 balls. However, he called some other player the real hero of the victory. This player is none other than Jasprit Bumrah, who bowled very economically in this match. In the match in which a total of 499 runs were scored, Bumrah took one wicket for just 32 runs in 4 overs. This is the reason why Samson called Jasprit Bumrah the real hero of the victory.
After becoming the player of the match, Sanju Samson said, 'It feels good to win. My form was good in the last match and I tried to continue it. I gave myself some time and after that the ball started coming on the bat. I wanted to play long innings. We tested the conditions and felt good that we were successful. Samson further said, 'Full credit for the victory goes to Jasprit Bumrah. Had he not bowled well, perhaps I would not have been standing here. I also contributed well, for this I am very happy.
Sanju Samson said, This award goes to Jasprit Bumrah. If he wasn't there, I wouldn't be standing here — the greatest bowler of this generation.

Jasprit Bumrah gave a huge success to India on his very first ball in this match. This player dismissed Harry Brook on the first ball of the fifth over. The England captain was in good form but he was caught out on a slower ball from Bumrah.
Jasprit Bumrah showed his true strength in the death overs. This player gave only 8 runs in the 16th over and in the 18th over he gave only 6 runs. Due to this bowling of Bumrah, there was pressure on England and in the end even Bethal-Curran could not help the team win.
