Cricket Question in Odisha MTS Exam Jasprit Bumrah: A picture has gone viral on social media, which is directly related to T20 World Cup 2024 and Jasprit Bumrah. A question related to cricket was asked in the Multi Tasking Staff (MTS Exam) paper conducted for government jobs in Odisha.
Actually the question was who was awarded the ‘Player of the Tournament’ award in the T20 World Cup 2024, which concluded a few weeks ago. The four options included the names of Suryakumar Yadav, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav.
What is the correct answer?
India’s fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was awarded the ‘Player of the Tournament’ award in the T20 World Cup 2024 played in West Indies and USA. He took a total of 15 wickets in 8 matches. Although he could not become the highest wicket-taker in the tournament, his economy rate of just 4.17 was one of the biggest reasons for him getting the ‘Player of the Tournament’ award. In terms of taking the most wickets, India’s Arshdeep Singh and Afghanistan’s Fazal Haq Farooqui were jointly ranked first with 17 wickets.
Suryakumar Yadav was also included in the four options, who scored a total of 199 runs in 8 matches at an average of 28.42, which also included 2 fifties. He was far behind in the list of highest run scorers. Talking about Kuldeep Yadav, he definitely helped Team India make a comeback on many occasions, but he could only take 10 wickets in 5 matches.
Virat Kohli’s name was also included in the options, who struggled to score runs throughout the tournament, but he played a wonderful innings in the final. From the first match of the tournament to the semi-finals, he scored 75 runs, but in the final against South Africa, he made an important contribution in making India the world champion by playing an innings of 76 runs.
