Former India pacer Zaheer Khan has backed Jasprit Bumrah who is under-fire after going wicketless in the recently-concluded ODI series against New Zealand.

Zaheer Khan Comments on Jasprit Bumrah's Wicketless Performance!

Zaheer said batsmen are not taking chances against Bumrah so he will have to be extra aggressive to pick wickets.

“When you build a reputation like how Jasprit Bumrah has built now over the years, you will have to fight this,” Zaheer told Cricbuzz.

“Bumrah is in a phase where teams are saying ‘even if we get thirty-five runs we are happy with that as long as we are not giving him wickets because then we can attack the other bowlers’.”

“That is something which Bumrah will have to understand that he has to be extra aggressive in terms of looking to get those wickets because he knows the batsmen are going to be defensive. So, he has to find that way of going for wickets rather than hoping that the batsmen will make a mistake because batsmen are taking a very conservative approach and making sure that his wicket-taking column is not getting filled.

“It’s a good sign that other batsmen are giving him that respect so it’s Bumrah’s call to now basically make them play. He has to make the play now rather than batsman playing him out,” Zaheer added.
