T20 World Cup 2021: [Watch] Jasprit Bumrah comically misses the stumps despite Namibia batter giving up
Jasprit Bumrah did well to pick two wickets in India's final match of the 2021 T20 World Cup against Namibia. However, he also comically mixed up a run-out chance in his final over.
Bumrah bowled a yorker to Namibia all-rounder Jan Frylinck, who managed to dig it out with a drive. The Indian bowler managed to stick out his hand and hold on to the ball. Frylinck had started off on a run and was miles out of the crease as Bumrah aimed at the stumps to run him out.
Frylinck, by this point, had given up. However, the pacer who is known for his accurate yorkers, was not quite on target, with his throw missing the stumps. This allowed Frylinck to get back to the crease.

Bumrah's miss left Hardik Pandya laughing, with his hands on his head. The bowler did manage to get the wicket of David Wiese two deliveries later with a slower ball as the all-rounder chipped a catch off the toe end of the bat to Rohit Sharma.
Bumrah finished the innings with figures of 2/19
