Video of the Day: Bumrah’s nip-backer sends de Kock back
Ace bowler Jasprit Bumrah was brilliant for India in their Super Eights match against South Africa at the T20 World Cup 2026. He bowled four overs, gave away just 15 runs, and took three important wickets, Quinton de Kock, Ryan Rickelton, and Corbin Bosch. With that, he surpassed Ravichandran Ashwin and teammate Arshdeep Singh to become the leading wicket-taker for India in T20 World Cup history.
He now holds the record with 33 scalps to his name. Courtesy of Bumrah and Arshdeep’s terrific opening spell, South Africa were reduced to 20/3 in the powerplay. David Miller and Dewald, their designated finishers, were forced to come in early and they played some brilliant cricket in the middle.
Jasprit Bumrah wastes no time and removes the danger man, Quinton de Kock, in this all-important Super 8 clash. 🔥

Miller, who was criticised over his form, dominated the proceedings, smacking 63 runs off 35 balls. Brevis played the role of a second fiddle, scoring 45 runs off 29 balls. Their partnership of 97 runs brought the Proteas back into the contest as they dominated the middle overs. Varun Chakravarthy, who is India’s leading wicket-taker in the ongoing tournament, was taken to the cleaners, as he leaked 47 runs in four overs.
