‘Jasprit Bumrah is slightly wayward when desperate’: Former India World Cup winner’s bold claim after MCG T20I | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Even the mighty Jasprit Bumrah is bound for a failur or two and the India speedster could not deliver his magic to help the team put up a fight after scoring only 125 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the second T20I on Friday. Even as he picked up two wickets and conceded only 26 runs in four overs, Bumrah’s wayward lengths came under some scrutiny from former India batter Robin Uthappa, who felt the ace speedster was bound to be erratic when desperate. “When we were bowling after scoring 125, the start was very important. If we had picked up two or three wickets in the first three or four overs, the game could have been closer because we have quality spinners in the middle overs. I felt we were probably trying too hard to pick up wickets. So we got a little wayward,” Uthappa said on Star Sports.

Former India player Irfan Pathan had high praise for seamer Jasprit Bumrah, calling him the most skillful bowler India has ever produced. Bumrah will make his return to the national side in the upcoming T20I series against Australia, his first since playing the 2-match Test series against West Indies earlier this month. “Bumrah’s economy of 6 is simply unbelievable. According to me India has never had a more skillful bowler. There hasn’t been a more skillful bowler produced by India than Jasprit Bumrah. Don’t know about the future, but currently, there is no comparison. Wherever his role is very important in the T20Is, like the new ball, 1-2 overs in the middle and the at the end 1-1. Combination will be important and we’ll see how Suryakumar Yadav uses Bumrah,” said Pathan on his YouTube channel.

Jasprit Bumrah retains top spot in ICC Rankings for Test bowlers | Cricket News

Published by Webster

After his inspired form against Australia in the Border Gavaskar trophy, Jasprit Bumrah retained his spot as the No.1 Test bowler in the recent ICC Rankings. Ahead of the 5th and final Test at Sydney, Bumrah had created history by recording the highest-ever ICC Rankings rating for an Indian bowler at 907 points. After taking 2 wickets in the first innings of the Sydney Test, he improved that by adding one more point. He could have taken the tally even further if he could bowl in the second innings of the Test but a back spasm put an end to that with India losing the BGT to Australia after 10 years due to the absence of their premier fast bowler. Also, Ravindra Jadeja climbed a spot to be joint-ninth to be the only other Indian in the Top 10. He shares the ninth spot with Australian pacer Scott Boland, who has made a remarkable leap of 29 places to break into the top 10. Boland claimed a 10-wicket haul (4/31 and 6/45) in the Sydney …

‘This guy’s a freak’: Michael Clarke lauds Jasprit Bumrah’s performance in Border Gavaskar Trophy | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Former Australia skipper Michael Clarke said Jasprit Bumrah was the greatest all-format pace bowler in the world after his heroics in the recently concluded Border Gavaskar Trophy Test series. “The thing I’ve thought about Bumrah, after the series finished and I was sitting and thinking about his performances, I actually think he’s the best fast bowler ever across all three formats,” Clarke told ESPN. “I know a lot of great fast bowlers, Curtly Ambrose, Glenn McGrath, didn’t get to play T20 cricket, so I’m not talking about those guys, but in regards to anyone who has played all three formats, I think he might be the best ever. He’s actually that good in any conditions, that’s what makes him great; any conditions, any format, this guy’s a freak,” he added. Bumrah single-handedly kept India in the hunt across the 5-Test series with his exceptional bowling performances which saw him take 32 wickets. Bumrah’s 32 wickets were followed by Mohammed Siraj who was the next highest wicket-taker among Indian pacers with 20 scalps at 31.15. Clarke …

India’s stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah said that he is frustrated after they lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 3-1 to Australia but suggested that the series was far from a disaster for his team. “Lots of ifs and buts because the whole series was well fought,” Bumrah said at the post-match presentation. “It’s not like it was totally one sided. Whichever team holds their nerve and sticks together will win.” Jasprit Bumrah is adjudged player of the series. The 31-year-old, who was named man-of-the-series with his 32 wickets — the highest ever by an Indian bowler in a single series in Australia — has almost single handedly kept India in the contest throughout the summer. Bumrah’s injury occurred on Saturday and had only been described as “ back spasms” by the India team after the star seamer had returned from medical scans at a nearby clinic. Bumrah had back surgery to repair a stress fracture in April 2023. Bumrah didn’t bowled in Australia’s second innings. Now, with Sharma set to retire, one hopes that the BCCI doesn’t …

Heaping praise on Jasprit Bumrah during the Melbourne Test, Adam Gilchrist said: “It is just a different ball game, a different planet, that Bumrah is playing on compared to everyone else.” The praise that he received from Gilchrist, as well as several other former Australian cricketers— comparing him to the West Indies greats of the past too as he crossed 200 wickets at an average of less than 20 – was richly deserved. On Sunday, India lost the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Sydney with Bumrah unable to take the field. His body was put through a lot, especially on Day 4 in Melbourne when he toiled. Eventually, his 32 wickets in the series (the most by an Indian bowler in Australia) ended up in a 1-3 defeat, thanks largely to insipid batting performances and questionable selection calls. Not that Australia’s batters were much better (because of course they had to face Bumrah) but India’s inconsistency across the lineup was more glaring. Australia’s top order (No 1 to 7) averaged 28.79 compared to India’s 24.67. The …

Former Australia player Darren Lehmann showered praise on Jasprit Bumrah, equating the pacer’s impact in the ongoing Border Gavaskar series with bowling greats of yesteryears. “I presume he (Bumrah) is the next captain when Rohit finishes. He did a really good job in Perth. He is the best bowler I have ever seen live. I have seen Wasim Akram, Glenn McGrath and all but I have not seen a bowler have impact like him in a single series like Jasprit Bumrah has since Mitchell Johnson in 2013-14 Ashes win,” Lehmann said to PTI. “This is very similar as Bumrah already has 30 wickets. He has been outstanding to watch. He will do well when he gets a chance to lead India,” he added. Bumrah has been the standout performer in an under-fire Indian lineup, having already notched up 30 wickets in the ongoing series against Australia. The ex-Australia coach also said that even after Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli call it a day, Indian cricket will still be in good hands. “Look whenever they decide …

Former Australia batter Michael Hussey recollected facing Jasprit Bumrah for the first time at the Mumbai Indians nets and how he is not surprised with his success in the Test cricket. “Not really surprised. He is unbelievable,” Hussey said on the “Willow Talk” podcast. “I actually played a year with him in the IPL. I had one year at the Mumbai Indians. “He was just a young kid coming through and I remember facing him in the nets and literally couldn’t get bat on ball. “I felt like I was using a toothpick. I remember thinking oh I can’t even see the ball, can’t even pick the ball coming out of his hand. His action is so unique,” recollected Hussey. “First impression I didn’t thought he will even get to the crease. “He was staggering with his run up and I was like what’s going on here, who the heck is this guy and then suddenly woof the ball whistles past my eyebrows at 145kph.” Hussey also revealed how in India people were with skeptical …
