Xtra Time Web Desk: Axar Patel has shared insights into why India’s bowling coach Paras Mhambrey seldom interferes with Jasprit Bumrah's bowling approach. Bumrah's exceptional performance in the T20 World Cup 2024 continued during the Super 8 clash against Afghanistan, where he took 3 wickets for just 7 runs, helping India to a 47-run victory. According to Patel, Bumrah is confident in his strategies, and Mhambrey avoids giving too much input to prevent any confusion, allowing Bumrah to execute his plans effectively.

At a press conference, Axar elaborated on the autonomy given to Bumrah: "I don't think anyone talks much about Bumrah's bowling. He has an idea of what to do and what not to do. When things are going well, the bowling coach doesn't give excessive input to avoid confusion. He simply supports Bumrah's clear mindset and plans."

Axar also reflected on his own approach, stating that while Bumrah's performance is inspiring, he focuses on his own strengths and strategies during the game. This mindset helps him avoid unnecessary pressure and perform at his best.

Axar bowled his first over after Bumrah dismissed Rahmanullah Gurbaz, emphasizing the importance of understanding his own game plan: "You have to think about your strengths and weaknesses. I was focused on what works for me on this wicket, adjusting my pace and length accordingly. It's about giving my best in the situation, not replicating what the other bowler did."
