As India defeats Sri Lanka to win the Asia Cup for the seventh time, internet users ask, “Can we have Renuka as Bumrah’s replacement?”
On Saturday, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led Team India’s energetic bowling display made the championship match of the Women’s Asia Cup 2022 a one-sided battle. In the Women’s Asia Cup final played at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Bangladesh, Indian bowler Renuka Singh ignited a surprising batting collapse by the Islanders. Renuka, an Indian pacer, claimed three wickets as Anushka Sanjeewani’s Sri Lanka managed just 65-9 in 20 overs.
In the low-scoring match, Renuka, who worked with Richa Ghosh to run out Sri Lankan captain Athapaththu in the third over, was able to take three significant wickets. The whole cricket community praised Renuka for her bowling exploits against Sri Lanka in the 2022 Asia Cup. Fans and followers praised the great pacer with some outstanding responses on Twitter.
A fan asked, “Can Renuka Singh take the position of Bumrah?” Bumrah should be replaced on the squad by Renuka Singh. After Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat first in the Asia Cup final, another supporter wrote, “What a spell Sl down to 18/6.”
Renuka, a pacer, took three wickets while giving up only five runs in three overs. The Islanders scored 65-9 in 20 overs after sharing four wickets between Rajeshwari Gayakwad and Sneh Rana. Team India responded by finishing the run-chase in 8.3 overs to win the Asia Cup. Smriti Mandhana, the Indian team’s opener, hit an undefeated 51 off 25 balls to win India their sixth Asia Cup.
Renuka, a pacer, was awarded Player of the Match for her outstanding bowling performance. Jemimah Rodrigues, an Indian player, completed the competition with the most runs scored. For Team India, the Indian hitter scored 215 runs in 7 games. All-rounder Deepti Sharma, who bagged the most wickets (13) in the Asia Cup, was named the Player of the Tournament.
