What makes Jasprit Bumrah different from other bowlers? Mike Haysman explains in this video
Jasprit Bumrah is the best pacer in world cricket currently. He is the biggest match-winner across formats and delivers almost every time. Despite bowling the toughest overs, Bumrah steps up for his team on a consistent basis, making him a class apart from anyone else in the world.
From Tests to T20s, Bumrah is second to none, and he has sealed his authority again by ending as the leading wicket-taker in the South Africa Test series. The talismanic pacer snared 12 wickets at a fabulous average of 12.92 and a strike rate of 24.25 in two games. His accuracy was pinpoint and unplayable at times.
Bumrah created ample chances throughout the course of the series and was the most effective bowler from either side. He took a wicket in every phase and every time Rohit Sharma recalled him during crunch situations. No wonder he was awarded the Player of the Series award with Dean Elgar.
