With his ability to bowl yorkers at will, Jasprit Bumrah is India's main weapon as they hunt for their third T20 World Cup title on March 8, and he will carry the hopes of a billion-plus fans in the cricket-obsessed country.
Bumrah's death-over bowling has been the key to the team's success, including their narrow win over England in a high-scoring semi-final on March 5 in Mumbai.
Chasing a record 254 with Jacob Bethell hitting sixes for fun, England needed 45 off 18 balls when India skipper Suryakumar Yadav entrusted Bumrah for a pivotal 18th over, his last.
