Jasprit Bumrah is being called as the greatest all-format fast bowler in history after playing a prominent role in India’s title winning campaign at the 2024 T20 World Cup where he won player-of-the-tournament award. However, he wasn’t just plotting the dismissal of batters off his own bowling during the competition but also helping out his teammates on setting up fields that would fetch them wickets.

Arshdeep Singh, the joint-highest wicket-taker of the tournament, has recalled how Bumrah’s suggestion – which he initially disagreed to – helped him get rid of an Afghanistan batter during the Super 8 stage.
“Afghanistan ke against jo match tha usme ball reverse ho raha tha kaafi. Toh unhone kuch field suggest kiya tha – ye fielder peeche lega toh ball wahin jayega, chances bohot zyada hain kyunki ball kaafi reverse ho raha tha. Toh main thoda disagree kiya ki ye waala fielder upar rakhna zaroori hai wahaan par ball nahi jaata hai. (Against Afghanistan, the ball was reversing. So he suggested a field change, asking me to place a man in the deep predicting that the batter will hit the ball over there since the ball is reversing. I disagreed and said the ball won’t go there),” Arshdeep told Sportstar in an interview.
However, Bumrah was persistent and asked Arshdeep to have faith.
“Toh unhone bola ki mujh par bharosa rakh fielder peeche bhej aur tu apna ball daal. Toh maine daala wo ball, thoda baahar gaya aur edge lag kar fielder ke haath mai chala gaya wahan pe. Toh unhone bola ki tujhe mujh par bharosa rakhna hai. Result tujhe ache milenge bus tu apni best ball daal. Phir mujhe laga ki haan yaar jo bhi bol rahe hain mujhe manna hai aur apna ball daalna hai. (So he asked me to trust him. I did and the ball went a little wide. The batter got an edge and the ball flew straight to the fielder (suggested by Bumrah). So Bumrah told me to have faith in him and good results will follow. Then I realised that whatever he’s telling me, I should follow and do my best),” he said.
Arshdeep finished with bowling figures of 3/36 as India went on to win the match by 47 runs.
