Also spoke about Bumrah and Mohammed Shami’s exceptional bowling performance against the Three Lions and told ICC Digital Insider, “There was a top-class.
Spell from Jasprit Bumrah, but I’d say Mohammed Siraj wasn’t quite at his best. So what Rohit Sharma really needed was his third seamer.
Mohammed Shami, to put in a top-quality spell with the new ball.” He (Shami) kept Ben Stokes under lock and key, didn’t give him anything to hit.
He bowled a really tight line at him, and in the end Stokes lost his patience. To get that wicket at that point was such a critical moment in the game.
Once England were four down at the end of the opening Powerplay it was very difficult to see them coming back and chasing that target,” Atherton added.
After facing a couple of setbacks in the first innings, India managed to put up a total of 229/9 and it proved to be enough as the Three Lions succumbed.
To a total of 129 as Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah inspired the Men in Blue to a thumping 100-run victory.
India will face Sri Lanka on Thursday at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai hoping to extend their win streak to seven.
