What sort of an impact will Jasprit Bumrah's absence from the T20 World Cup 2022 have on the Indian team's chances? As far as the mood among fans and former cricketers is concerned, the level of optimism has certainly dropped. Bumrah, who undoubtedly is one of the finest pacers in the world, has been central to Team India's success over the last 3-4 years. In fact, statistics as per ESPNcricinfo, suggest that his absence has a detrimental effect on bowlers around him too when it comes to T20Is.
When Bumrah is a part of the Indian team, it isn't just his own performance that gives the team a boost. A detailed analysis suggests that even other bowlers put up a better show with the ball by merely having Bumrah in the team.
