"Get Jasprit Bumrah to bowl with the new ball" - Aakash Chopra's suggestion to Hardik Pandya ahead of MI vs RR IPL 2024 clash
Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra recently advised MI captain Hardik Pandya to give the new ball to Jasprit Bumrah as it could maximize their chances of taking RR's top-order wickets in the powerplay.
He also felt that a big knock from Rohit Sharma at the top would ease pressure on Hardik. In a video on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra previewed the MI vs RR IPL 2024 game and said:
"A big knock from Rohit Sharma and the pressure on Pandya the captain will be released slightly. Hardik Pandya the captain is once again the player in focus. Get Jasprit Bumrah to bowl with the new ball because you need to get at least two among Jos Butter, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson out in the first six overs. So will he give the new ball to Jasprit Bumrah?"
Chopra continued:
"Will he use the bowlers slightly better? Will he play Luke Wood or show confidence in whoever he plays? Will he not get a spinner to bowl the last over? Hardik Pandya the batter - everyone else scored at a strike rate of 200-250 in the last match, so he was criticized a lot that he played very slowly. Sometimes you get stuck."
