As of now, Bumrah is in New Zealand itself and is participating in the three-match ODI series. He played a vital role in guiding India to a 5-0 triumph in the T20I series but hasn’t been able to replicate his performances in the 50-over format. He went wicket-less in the first ODI which helped the Kiwis chased down a mammoth-looking total of 347 and they went over the line with four wickets in hand. Trailing 0-1 in the three-match series, the 2nd ODI is a do-or-die encounter for the visitors and they must leave no stones unturned in clinching the battle.
