Former ace speedster of Pakistan, Wasim Akram has come up with a hilarious suggestion to stop Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah. Crciket's stalwart suggested stealing his boots after his spell as Jasprit played a crucial role in guiding 'Men in Blue' to a 100-run victory over defending champions, England in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.

The veteran Indian speedster claimed two wickets in the opening spell as he claimed Dawid Malan and Joe Root's wicket early in the first powerplay.

If you want to stop Jasprit Bumrah steal his boots

India is undefeated in the ongoing tournament, so far. Akram praises Bumrah, in a show hosted on Pakistan Sports Channel A Sports. He said, "If you want to stop Jasprit Bumrah steal his boots. When you bring the ball from the right-hand side, the ball is coming inside. So, the batsman will play from the angle. When the ball will come out from the inside, the batsman will be beaten".

Furthermore, he added, "When I used to out-swing the right-hand batter, I used to hold the ball like this and hit the wrist. So, the ball will come inside and go out. But, Bumrah definitely got better control with the new ball than me".

India faced a top-order collapse in the first innings as Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer were dismissed cheaply. However, India managed past a total of 229/9 with the help of Rohit Sharma's brilliant innings and it proved to be enough as 'Men in Blue' bundled England to a total of 129 as Mohammed Shami claimed a four-wicket haul while Jasprit Bumrah claimed three wickets guiding India to a thumping 100-run victory.

India will lock horns against Sri Lanka on Thursday at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
