Bumrah, who has stood up for India in key matches, rose to ranks during the knockout stages. While he picked up two wickets in the Super 8 clash against West Indies, he was the point of difference in India’s 7-run win against England in the semifinal, followed by a stupendous performance in the summit clash.
