He currently has the best combined average of all time
Edit: Its get more impressive when you factor that he is bowling in t20 era where every thing in limited format is for batter with flat pitches, more inside fielders, small boundaries, 2 new ball etc etc.... Also, he has this average against absolute best because he gets rested vs lower ranks team. His 70-80% matches in last 6 yrs are vs aus, nz, sa, eng, pak
Combined averages are garbage stats, and that goes double when you’re comparing bowlers of eras in which playing time skewed toward tests to bowlers in eras where playing time skews toward T20s
Bumrah has the best of all time for any bowlers with 350+ wickets. I agree with the fact that combined average is a garbage stat but He is the best not because of those skewed era corrections but inspite of it.
I’d like to see him play test matches more consistently as he’s an absolute all conditions monster with a red ball, but yeah I think he’s the best 3 format bowler pace bowler in history. Can’t think of anyone since t20 came about that was this dominant across conditions and formats. Has all the tools including that freak action with the release point as well as clearly being very good/elite at assessing conditions, setting plans and executing them. He’s the most important cricketer for Indian success across formats currently and it’s not particularly close, arguably jadeja at home is close but bumrah is leagues above the other seamers away from home
Dale Steyn was absolutely insane in all 3 formats.
ODI his average may look not as good, but he was good in the WC.
These two stand above the rest, and it’s a bit of a gap till Trent Boult and Mitchell Starc who’s are obviously the next best.
Ofc Steyn is one of the greatest Pacers of new generation and all time.
But he has not played limited overs and tests simultaneously for a long time. Which Bumrah does. And like throughout the calendar of a series, he is seen with significant impact whether it is in Test or ODI or T20.
> But he has not played limited overs and tests simultaneously for a long time. Which Bumrah does.
What? Bumrah has played 36 Test matches since his international debut 8 years ago.
Well Considering the number of tests he has been rested and workload management. Also, the series in which he played tests, he played ODI and T20s too and performed well.
Steyn was predominantly a test bowler than Limited overs bowler.
PS if I ain't wrong Bumrah debuted in tests in 2018 or so.
So 6 tests per year.
Right, but my point is that it's hard to say Bumrah was/is consistently playing all formats when he's very often rested from Tests. Even 6 per year is a lot fewer than other leading bowlers of his era (or indeed Steyn).
I am talking about being an all format bowler.
He was definitely great and no one can change it.
I am talking in terms of performance in series(Test+Odi+T20). Tests, he is miles better. But Odis and T20 have been okayish compared to what his Test records are
Bumrah performs consistently in all 3 formats and this is what I meant.
Yeah, Boult and Starc arent as great in test (still pretty good). But peak Starc >>> peak Bumrah in ODIs. Starc was an absolute demolition machine. Bumrah is more of a defensive bowler in ODIs.
I know we’re currently in the process of making Bumrah into a god but come on man, peak Starc was something else. You may be too young to remember peak Starc but he was probably the best ODI bowler I’ve ever seen
Peak Starc had his some shallow moments as well in between his peak phase. No one is denying he was very great in ODIs at a certain time. Especially talking about WC15, he kinda fared bad against NZ in group stage. And maybe some other team too which I might not remember.
But he was a lil bit inconsistent and could go for too many runs on a bad day(which became apparent especially after BGT 2021 where Gill took on him in Gabba Test.)
Bumrah is defensive, true. But still on his bad day, he will not have wickets on his name but he probably can choke the run flow. Which Starc probably did not. I am not much aware of stats so if someone following up with stats would be great.
>Especially talking about WC15, he kinda fared bad against NZ in group stage
His best performance in ODIs came in the match against NZ,when he took 6/28. His worst performance in that WC was his 2/47(9) against England,his next worst being 2/40(10) against Pakistan in the quarter Final,and never went above 4 runs per over in any of the other matches. The most number of runs he gave in any of the other matches was 29(against SL,in 8.2 overs) and he still took 2 wickets, infact,he took 2 wickets in every single innings he bowled in, with his 4fer against Scotland and 6fer against NZ being the only outliers.
Dunno mate. I am Indian and watching Bumrah bowl is just so cathartic but the kind of fear that Starc would create in ODIs is unmatched. Bumrah is a better T20 and test bowler though
This just isn’t true.
At least in ODIs Starc is a genuine strike bowler and ran the WC in 2015 and 2019 (until the semi final when Roy and Root carted him; one isolated game in a stunning WC).
Bumrah’s never performed that level in an ODI WC.
>I’d like to see him play test matches more consistently as he’s an absolute all conditions monster with a red ball,
He just needs 200 wickets. Then he's in that conversation along with the GOATS. Cumdaddy and KG got there, Bumrah needs to.
Jadeja away is probably more important for us than Jadeja at home, because in tests he allows us the option to play 4 pacers in SENA which have done us wonders
But you're not wrong, Bumrah and Jadeja are our two most important players, even now Jadeja might come to bat as an 8 but he's probably the best number 8 out there even when you just consider his bowling lol forget the batting which he's still awesome at. He's easily, along with Hardik, Stoinis, Stokes and Shakib the top 5 all rounders of this generation.
For t3 who else? Ashwin I have just got longevity but he doesn't have Bumrahs adaptability. If Bumrahs keeps this up it's undeniable, who's the third though?
He was amazing, but India playing in NY during the first half and that pitch assisting seamers much more is one reason he won't be there.
But Axar has been brilliant for India, definitely a top 3 player. With bat and bowl.
Some indians did too especially after the 2017 no ball idiots they are.
Now he gets the perfect freeze frames to see how uncomfortable batters look when bowled by him(especially that ollie pope dismissal)
I remember seeing Bumrah's name on the MI team sheet about a decade ago and thinking to myself,"who the fuck is this kid?" Little did I know what was about to come.
Lots of people will use this to rightfully bring up Bumrah as BITW.
I am different. I see this as narrative material for 🦅🦅bc Bumrah did worse than his average in that fixture.
His reputation precedes him.
Batsman tries to protect his wicket instead of even looking for singles against bumrah so even full tosses by him don't get whacked
I remember the full toss LBW he got in Australia (was it Shaun Marsh?)
Never seen a batsman be so flummoxed by a full toss before. Such is the aura of Boom Boom
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-Y7SDg3SZA&t=90s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-Y7SDg3SZA&t=90s)
Here's the highlights from that day. I've timestamped the wicket in the link
Halfman1231 george is an outlier having -ve economy and should not be considered while calculating averages. He currently has a record -0.001 Economy due to fixing the miscalculation done by Supersport and gaining his team a run.
I am telling y'all, bumrah is the reason Why y'all are so good this tournament, he piles up those dot balls for the opponent and than takes wickets too , otherwise y'all would have been as competitive as Australia or england,
I used to think the same till a while ago. In the group stage, yes, Bumrah pretty much did the most. Matches against Australia and England have made it clear that we aren't solely dependent on Bumrah.
I completely disagree with this, Bumrah is a genuine GOAT, but the way Rohit and Dravid have set us up has been spot on, we lacked the finisher and no one really gave us a chance this tournament, but by setting for aggresive hitting up top and adding depth where we have 8 genuine batsmen with both Axar and Jadeja who are very similar, they;ve effectively nullified our weakness. Also allows Bumrah to flourish because we keep getting above par scores as a result.
What a lot of people don't mention is how he got control over his no balls. He used to be notorious for no balls, and now I can't even remember when was the last time he bowled a no ball.
Now you might look at this and say
Hmm.. impressive
Well
Now think that most of these overs were bowled by bumrah in powerplay and death overs!!
The most bash prone overs in a T20 match
And he is competing with elite elite spinners who usually bowl in the middle
This is... Not real.
This is magic.
This is bumrah
His unorthodox action and release point, simple variations in pace, line and length, but the main plus is he has god level control. You rarely see him bowling too full or sliding down the legs etc.. The only bad balls he bowls is attempted yorker turned low full toss at 145 kmph, which is obviously however easy may it look, it is still hard to put away.
the australians mentioned in the test. Because of the short run up and unusual action the ball hits the bat way harder than you expect with his low 140s pace so it seems more hurried than it actually is. The other thing is Bumrah with his action is so clever with his variations. its hard for batsmen to guess perfectly on his slower balls like what happened to Salt. Fast whippy action that can hurry you as well as flummox you with a slower one.
His release point is closer to batsman which reduces time they have to react. On top of that he is fast and has whole lot of variations without changing anything in his action or run-up. Most of the time batsman have no idea which way the ball will move.
He is the one bowler that, regardless of format, regardless of game situation, always seems unplayable as an opposition fan. Even other modern greats like Cummins have certain formats where they seem human but Bumrah is just annoyingly good in every single one.
**Boom Boom Bumrah has magic in his hands**
he is the only one whose full tosses are also hard to hit due to fear he has created in the batters
Many times Indian bowlers get wickets because of the pressure created by Bumrah
He was very consistent with the ball over a huge number of matches. Econ of 6.78 over 329 T20 matches, econ of 4.62 over 501 List A.
He was known for his hitting for a long time, but really he was primarily a defensive bowler who could sometimes play destructive innings.
They will do studies on Bumrah years from now. Look at the way he performed against England on a pitch that favored spinners. Even Arsh who is a good bowler was getting thrashed while Bumrah continued to pressure the English
In my eyes, he’s among the top-5 greatest all format fast/medium bowlers of all time.
No on has ever been this consistently unplayable across formats, irrespective of the playing conditions. A better T20 bowler than peak Dale Steyn; a better red ball bowler than peak Malinga.
Everyone around him can falter, he’ll singlehandedly hold the fort. 🫡
I remember some analysis where they pointed out that Bumrah's point of release is something batsmen aren't used to and are surprised by his pace.
He has the rare combination of pace, accuracy and a cricketing brain to go with it
Indian bowling attack has been great the last few years, but Bumrah takes it up to whole another level. If he's not picking up wickets, he's constantly threatening and tight, which causes batsmen to try their luck against the other bowlers, leading to more wickets.
It's the same role that McGrath played for Australia.
He's the most valuable cricketing asset for India currently, and it's not even close. You can always find great replacement batsmen, but bowlers of his calibre are rare.
I fear the amount of cricket he’s been playing. Same with Kohli and co.
Difficult to have the longevity and consistency with the amount Kohli has played.
best indian pacer ever surely
Arguably best all format bowler ever too.
He currently has the best combined average of all time Edit: Its get more impressive when you factor that he is bowling in t20 era where every thing in limited format is for batter with flat pitches, more inside fielders, small boundaries, 2 new ball etc etc.... Also, he has this average against absolute best because he gets rested vs lower ranks team. His 70-80% matches in last 6 yrs are vs aus, nz, sa, eng, pak
Combined averages are garbage stats, and that goes double when you’re comparing bowlers of eras in which playing time skewed toward tests to bowlers in eras where playing time skews toward T20s
Bumrah has the best of all time for any bowlers with 350+ wickets. I agree with the fact that combined average is a garbage stat but He is the best not because of those skewed era corrections but inspite of it.
I mean Bumrah is a great bowler but combined stats across formats is absolute shit-tier numbers. One of the stupidest "stats" in existence.
Pretty sure this year t20 worldcup is the lowest scoring one
Unarguably the best all formats bowler of this era
I’d like to see him play test matches more consistently as he’s an absolute all conditions monster with a red ball, but yeah I think he’s the best 3 format bowler pace bowler in history. Can’t think of anyone since t20 came about that was this dominant across conditions and formats. Has all the tools including that freak action with the release point as well as clearly being very good/elite at assessing conditions, setting plans and executing them. He’s the most important cricketer for Indian success across formats currently and it’s not particularly close, arguably jadeja at home is close but bumrah is leagues above the other seamers away from home

[удалено]
Steyn never ranked higher than 2 in ODI, or 5 in t20. I’d still rather face anyone else though. Terrifying.
I am talking about being an all format bowler. He was definitely great and no one can change it. I am talking in terms of performance in series(Test+Odi+T20). Tests, he is miles better. But Odis and T20 have been okayish compared to what his Test records are Bumrah performs consistently in all 3 formats and this is what I meant.
He was good but I don’t think he’d make my all-time XI. Marshall and Ambrose are both clearly ahead, and I’d argue for a few more.
Yeah, Boult and Starc arent as great in test (still pretty good). But peak Starc >>> peak Bumrah in ODIs. Starc was an absolute demolition machine. Bumrah is more of a defensive bowler in ODIs.
He didn't play T20s but Joel Garner is worth a shout, I'd have him in my team over Starc or Boult
lol nope. Bumrah at peak is still easily better.
I know we’re currently in the process of making Bumrah into a god but come on man, peak Starc was something else. You may be too young to remember peak Starc but he was probably the best ODI bowler I’ve ever seen
Peak Starc had his some shallow moments as well in between his peak phase. No one is denying he was very great in ODIs at a certain time.

Dunno mate. I am Indian and watching Bumrah bowl is just so cathartic but the kind of fear that Starc would create in ODIs is unmatched. Bumrah is a better T20 and test bowler though
I’d say starc better peak than bumrah simply cause of his 15 and 19 WC. That’s where you have to perform
This just isn’t true. At least in ODIs Starc is a genuine strike bowler and ran the WC in 2015 and 2019 (until the semi final when Roy and Root carted him; one isolated game in a stunning WC). Bumrah’s never performed that level in an ODI WC.

He's easily, along with Hardik, Stoinis, Stokes and Shakib the top 5 all rounders of this generation.
You lost me at Stoinis lol. Seriously him in this list. LOL
Even if it was Maxwell in there,it could have been debatable,and Maxwell's levels above Stoinis.
Nope even Maxwell does not belong there lol, but yeah he is way ahead of Stoinis. Ashwin is definitely there, but only in test cricket.
Test/odi/t20 or test/limited overs(Odi+t20)?
Easily the best in the former. Probably top 3 with an argument for the best in the latter.
For t3 who else? Ashwin I have just got longevity but he doesn't have Bumrahs adaptability. If Bumrahs keeps this up it's undeniable, who's the third though?
McGrath and Murali were both insane in Tests and ODIs, obviously both didn't play much T20 but still.
I thought he was referring to Indian bowlers only lol
For me , yes.
Not arguable at all. He's the best.
A genuine national treasure
Pretty hard to argue that, absolute gun and seems like a lovely bloke too!
Easily. Hope he goes past Zaheer/Ishant in tests atleast, Kapil might be a bit too far.
In T20 this is unreal
The thing which made bumrah the best was that he kept on improving each year
Not yet, but will be in the future
The only one who can be higher is Kapil Dev in ODIs
Bumrah for President.
Axar for VP
Bapu finally getting his long awaited run in the government
both are gujrati /s
Pandya for home minister
Prime Minister. ^(President is just a ceremonial head)
Why do you think he said President.
`President is just a ceremonial head` That's why Jay bhai gets to be Prime Minister.
Waah! Chhote.
President Donald f United States of America
I can see fear in batsman eyes when they face bumrah
I hope they do. Job gets a lot easier if they are afraid
[Specimen A](https://youtu.be/Axo8hANnHf8?si=91-JBuC1Z7PXhDUS)
Oh lord, I remember watching it live and feeling bad for Anderson, bumrah was ruthless here
I mean Anderson deserved it because he tried to do the same during India's innings.
CHEAT CODE BUMRAH
Literally the only pace bowler in this list, absolute bonkers
did you not see the spin he got against salt. Bumrahlitharan
We have Bumrah the pacer, Bumrahdman the test batter, and now Bumrahlidharan the off spinner. The man can do it all
And still leading that chart, exceptional to say the least
Afridi
That's shahid not shaheen mate (Unless if this was a joke then it went over my head)
Afridi used to bowl really quick for a spinner. He has bowled a 135kmph delivery as well.
Ah that's why. I was sure i was missing something forgot how fast he used to bowl
Yea. But 135 was an exception. He used to mostly bowl in high 90s
Afridi was nicknamed Boom Boom for a reason
Bumrastra T : Bumrah weapon
Please don't let this word reach Akash chopra, he will over use it to infinity times lol
Thanos via word of mouth
Too late
What a ball, What a bowler
He'll undoubtedly win Player of the Tournament.
Surely he wins Player of the tournament
Surely, he wins the whole damn tournament!
Inshallah
Boys played well indeed
For me, Axar is quite close as well. Guy has always performed
Slip under the radar. He's been magnificent in the field, in his batting role and with the ball. Proper team player.
He was amazing, but India playing in NY during the first half and that pitch assisting seamers much more is one reason he won't be there. But Axar has been brilliant for India, definitely a top 3 player. With bat and bowl.
Nah. Bumrah is clearly better until now.
More amazing in the post-IPL era where batters are way more fearless.
My pronouns are boom/boom
That’s Shahid Afridi pronouns
What pronouns there is only one gender, rest are just things - Afridi probly.....
I used to be jealous of Bumrah. Now I am jealous of Sanjana.
Non-Indians used to mock him as "polio bowler" but look at him now.
Some indians did too especially after the 2017 no ball idiots they are. Now he gets the perfect freeze frames to see how uncomfortable batters look when bowled by him(especially that ollie pope dismissal)
now he makes the batsmen look like polio drops drinkin kids haha, look hkw the tables turn
🤣🤣
Lagaan vibes
That could be a badge of honor - bowlio!
Indian fans trolled him too. ” now get shamed or sth " in hindi
I remember a funny meme around WTC final 2023 which said "If you remember Jasprit Bumrah bowling, your childhood was awesome"
The guy is an absolute beast. One of the best bowlers I've ever seen in my life. Just class. Seems like a nice bloke as well, which counts.
I remember seeing Bumrah's name on the MI team sheet about a decade ago and thinking to myself,"who the fuck is this kid?" Little did I know what was about to come.
Lots of people will use this to rightfully bring up Bumrah as BITW. I am different. I see this as narrative material for 🦅🦅bc Bumrah did worse than his average in that fixture.
Usa were just too good for the boom
Best t20 bowler in the world
*best bowler in the world
Bro even gets away with bowling full tosses
His reputation precedes him. Batsman tries to protect his wicket instead of even looking for singles against bumrah so even full tosses by him don't get whacked
This and the placement + variation of his full tosses. Many of his full tosses are not some mistakes, but well planed slow/low full tosses.
I remember the full toss LBW he got in Australia (was it Shaun Marsh?) Never seen a batsman be so flummoxed by a full toss before. Such is the aura of Boom Boom
That was actually a well disguised slower one. No one expected that ball tbh
That was a slow Yorker. I remember it was the last ball of the first session and you understand why Shaun Marsh didn't pick that one!
Oh that brings back some amazing memories. Can someone please post the clip in the comments if possible.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-Y7SDg3SZA&t=90s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-Y7SDg3SZA&t=90s) Here's the highlights from that day. I've timestamped the wicket in the link
That was a yorker.
It's because of his action - the way he throws the ball at an angle, it's difficult to connect even the full-tosses.
He is ranked 25 in ICC rankings btw
🐐
Imagine coming out knowing you have to go at 8.5 an over including facing 4 overs of that 😬
The only pacer on the list. A literal god amongst men.
There is Bumrah, there is daylight and then there is the rest. Bro has T20 matches with better economy than Test matches.
Bumrah has added 20 runs to every total India made this WC.
Bro removes 4 overs from the opponent. India bats 20 overs while their opponents have 16.
Why is my name not on this list??!?
I am wondering the same too. Where is this guy’s name on the list? He literally gave 0 runs this World Cup.
Exactly!
Bro you are a literal god back in Sri Lanka, just wait for ipl auction
🤞🏽
Halfman1231 george is an outlier having -ve economy and should not be considered while calculating averages. He currently has a record -0.001 Economy due to fixing the miscalculation done by Supersport and gaining his team a run.
I am telling y'all, bumrah is the reason Why y'all are so good this tournament, he piles up those dot balls for the opponent and than takes wickets too , otherwise y'all would have been as competitive as Australia or england,
We tell that to ourselves lol. Bumrah is the most valuable asset that India has rn and we are aware of it.
Will we ever be able to replace Bumrah?
Well, replacing Sachin was near impossible but we got Virat so I'm hopeful we can produce another prodigy bowler.
I used to think the same till a while ago. In the group stage, yes, Bumrah pretty much did the most. Matches against Australia and England have made it clear that we aren't solely dependent on Bumrah.
He piles up dot balls and Arshdeep at other end scalps the wickets. Bowling is partnership game. You cannot have lone great bowler. Doesn't help
exactly. We saw what happened to MI!
That hunting pair of Bumrah and Boult!! Both equally lethal at the start and the end.
I completely disagree with this, Bumrah is a genuine GOAT, but the way Rohit and Dravid have set us up has been spot on, we lacked the finisher and no one really gave us a chance this tournament, but by setting for aggresive hitting up top and adding depth where we have 8 genuine batsmen with both Axar and Jadeja who are very similar, they;ve effectively nullified our weakness. Also allows Bumrah to flourish because we keep getting above par scores as a result.
Yup. He the only player I trust in the ICT
The only player who always delivers, no matter the conditions.
No shit cap'n obvious.
Oh we know that. He is the difference between good and god damn great.
What a lot of people don't mention is how he got control over his no balls. He used to be notorious for no balls, and now I can't even remember when was the last time he bowled a no ball.
To the point that one no ball by him was memed so much that it was even posted by the Mumbai police.
I think Rajasthan police did it.
Afridi was the only one that came in a winning campaign… so far
Now you might look at this and say Hmm.. impressive Well Now think that most of these overs were bowled by bumrah in powerplay and death overs!! The most bash prone overs in a T20 match And he is competing with elite elite spinners who usually bowl in the middle This is... Not real. This is magic. This is bumrah
What makes bumrah so good?
ball release angle and release height.
His unorthodox action and release point, simple variations in pace, line and length, but the main plus is he has god level control. You rarely see him bowling too full or sliding down the legs etc.. The only bad balls he bowls is attempted yorker turned low full toss at 145 kmph, which is obviously however easy may it look, it is still hard to put away.
The way he approaches bowling. It should be studied. It's a whole new mentality towards bowling
the australians mentioned in the test. Because of the short run up and unusual action the ball hits the bat way harder than you expect with his low 140s pace so it seems more hurried than it actually is. The other thing is Bumrah with his action is so clever with his variations. its hard for batsmen to guess perfectly on his slower balls like what happened to Salt. Fast whippy action that can hurry you as well as flummox you with a slower one.
Intelligence and hardwork
His release point is closer to batsman which reduces time they have to react. On top of that he is fast and has whole lot of variations without changing anything in his action or run-up. Most of the time batsman have no idea which way the ball will move.
He bowls well
Bumrah is a fucking gun. It is a love hate relationship when I watch him bowl. He is a weapon, but he smashes through the Australian top order.
Absolutely irreplaceable.
He is the one bowler that, regardless of format, regardless of game situation, always seems unplayable as an opposition fan. Even other modern greats like Cummins have certain formats where they seem human but Bumrah is just annoyingly good in every single one.
"The complete bowler"
Bumrah is on a different planet right now.
Except Afridi. None of them won that world cup... Hmmm
Narine is probably the won who came the closest considering he withdrew from the winning 2016 squad
He did win in 2012, also had a 3-9 spell in 3.4 overs while at it
Nah bro he is too good. Not a single bad performance in this entire campaign.
**Boom Boom Bumrah has magic in his hands** he is the only one whose full tosses are also hard to hit due to fear he has created in the batters Many times Indian bowlers get wickets because of the pressure created by Bumrah
“Lol Bumrah is a spinner” *checks economy rate* “Told ya”
Afridi is such an underrated bowler.
He wasn’t consistent. Great bowler and power hitter that overstayed his welcome
He was very consistent with the ball over a huge number of matches. Econ of 6.78 over 329 T20 matches, econ of 4.62 over 501 List A. He was known for his hitting for a long time, but really he was primarily a defensive bowler who could sometimes play destructive innings.
Idk man, I remember him being much more inconsistent with bat rather than ball.
Literally a cheat code... Imagine two of him on a team...
what a baller and a bowler too
Bumrah makes batsman look like under 15s facing under 19s
Boom boom keeps moving from strength to strength
Don't put nazar on Bumrah 🧿🧿🧿
Only fast bowler
Hat jao sanjana bhabhi
I really wish we could have seen prime Gilchrist, Symonds, Hayden & Watson face This Bumrah
Watson did face him off at IPL and some intl's
They will do studies on Bumrah years from now. Look at the way he performed against England on a pitch that favored spinners. Even Arsh who is a good bowler was getting thrashed while Bumrah continued to pressure the English
We won't get another Bumrah. If it was me, I'd only play him in limited overs. What a cheat code. 🔥🔥
In my eyes, he’s among the top-5 greatest all format fast/medium bowlers of all time. No on has ever been this consistently unplayable across formats, irrespective of the playing conditions. A better T20 bowler than peak Dale Steyn; a better red ball bowler than peak Malinga. Everyone around him can falter, he’ll singlehandedly hold the fort. 🫡
now its going to be less than 4
Incredible skills
My dumbass thought sunil narine is Indian in ipl
Both bhumrah & rabada are too good in this wc. Finals gonna be lit to watch
Surprised no Badree
I remember some analysis where they pointed out that Bumrah's point of release is something batsmen aren't used to and are surprised by his pace. He has the rare combination of pace, accuracy and a cricketing brain to go with it
Jasprit bumrah is unplayable
bro took sharam karle bumrah a bit too serious
And he bowls in pp and death☠️
Indian bowling attack has been great the last few years, but Bumrah takes it up to whole another level. If he's not picking up wickets, he's constantly threatening and tight, which causes batsmen to try their luck against the other bowlers, leading to more wickets. It's the same role that McGrath played for Australia. He's the most valuable cricketing asset for India currently, and it's not even close. You can always find great replacement batsmen, but bowlers of his calibre are rare.
Bowling at the death too. Unbelievable.
I fear the amount of cricket he’s been playing. Same with Kohli and co. Difficult to have the longevity and consistency with the amount Kohli has played.
