JASPRIT BUMRAH AND YUZVENDRA CHAHAL IN BATTLE TO BREAK R ASHWIN'S MASSIVE RECORD!

Indore will see Jasprit Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal engaging in a battle during the 2nd T20I against Sri Lanka to break Ravichandran Ashwin's record for most T20I wickets by an Indian player.

Bumrah who has given a comeback after injury has 51 T20I wickets to his name at the moment. If he manages to take two more, he would surpass Ashwin and Chahal to become the leading wicket-taker for India in the shortest format.

With 52 wickets each, Ashwin and Chahal are currently tied at the top spot meaning the later needs only one wicket to become the sole-holder of the record.

Meanwhile, captain Virat Kohli wants other bowlers to step up and make their presence felt. “Because the tournament (World T20 2020) is in Australia, you will need these many options and back-ups to be able to take firstly your strongest squad and have those back-ups in place who also can come in and do the job. It’s good that we’ve identified five or six guys and it will be priority based on who goes and back-ups will be in place for fast bowlers. Small niggles can happen now and then, so we’re pretty sorted in that regard. Not a worry at all,” he said.
