Jos Buttler vs Jasprit Bumrah
Jos Buttler has found it difficult to play against the Indian fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, in all formats of the game, which is why he will need to see him off, to get England off to a decent start in the T20 World Cup 2024 semifinal. In their 12 battles in the T20 format, the English captain has lost his wicket four times against Jasprit Bumrah, scoring just 71 runs at a strike rate of 86.58 with just 10 fours and one maximum.
