“Bumrah can keep up an amazing pace while shaping the new ball away. His tournament performance demonstrated his leadership abilities, taking about 15 wickets with remarkable economy. He is absolutely exceptional, and India is deserving of praise for their accomplishments.”

Lee also lauded India’s strength in the shortest international format, specifically speaking highly of their middle order which features players like Shubman Gill and Rinku, who according to him, can dominate at any batting position.

“Their batting order, which includes players who can dominate at every position from top to bottom, speaks volumes. Their middle-order is loaded with power and they have hitters who can put runs on the board quickly,” Lee added.
