Former India batter names key bowlers in second qualifier

Aakash Chopra has named left-arm spinners Harpreet Brar and Mitchell Santner as the two key bowlers in the second qualifier. Chopra, during his live YouTube show, said, “Harpreet Brar on one side and Mitchell Santner on the other. It seems to be an equal contest here as well. Harpreet Brar is bowling extremely well. He bowled well against this team the last time. He dismissed Rohit Sharma as well.”

The former India batter also went on to say, “Mitchell Santner had taken Jos Inglis' wicket. He bowls slowly. This ground is also slightly bigger. If dew doesn't come, Mitchell Santner will have a bigger role. Mitchell Santner is once again a quality operator, and so is Harpreet Brar. Maybe you want to go towards international experience because it's now a knockout game.”

Aakash Chopra also said that MI pacer Jasprit Bumrah holds the advantage compared to PBKS’ pacer Arshdeep Singh. Chopra said “Arshdeep Singh vs Jasprit Bumrah. It's unfair, Bumrah shouldn't be kept in front of Arshdeep, but I have gone towards both sides' best bowlers. However much I like Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah is gold. Everyone else talks about the economy, he is business class. He is a different-level bowler.”
