Jasprit Bumrah: When South Africa needed 30 runs from 30 balls, they had six wickets. Then, bowling two overs and getting out a dangerous batsman like Marco Hansen, they gave only six runs in those two overs. When the World Cup was at stake, umpire Richard Cutlabra even said that it was the best ball of the tournament. Along with this, Cutlabra has posted a photo of Shaheen Shah Afridi watching those two overs of Bumrah.
Cutlabra says that no matter how great any fast bowler is today, do not make the mistake of comparing him with Jasprit Bumrah. If it wasnโt for Bumrah, would we have been able to beat Australia by 24 runs when he dismissed Travis Head at a crucial moment, or would we have won that match against Pakistan when Pakistan was on the verge of victory? In this entire World Cup, Bumrah took 15 wickets in eight games, and his economy rate was 4.17. He is considered the most capable Player in the World Cup; there is really no one like Jasprit Bumrah.
Is Jasprit Bumrah the greatest bowler in white ball cricket?
He made India win the World Cup; that man Siraj said that when 30 runs were needed in 30 balls, Bumrah bhai was the only one who could win the match, and Bumrah did that. Bumrah was amazing in this World Cup; he bowled 178 balls in the T20 and gave only 124 runs, and his economy was 2.5.
And the way he gave four runs in 16 overs, two runs in 18 overs, and turned the game around for India was unbelievable. Bumrah not only became the Player of the Tournament but also became the heartbeat of Team India; he became the pride of Team India, and after this, the question arose whether Bumrah was the greatest bowler in the world. I mean, there is no one else in white ball cricket. So far, we have won this World Cup because of Bumrah. It is very important. What do you think?
Ravi Shastri also praised Jasprit Bumrah.
Ravi Shastri said that before Jasprit Bumrah, India never had a fast bowler who could do well in all three formats; some played Test cricket well, while others performed well in the white ball format. In the form of Jasprit Bumrah, Team India has got such a fast bowler who is another name for fear for batters in all three formats. I never thought that we would have such a fast bowler in front of whom batters from all over the world would be afraid.
