Jasprit Bumrah is part of the Indian cricket team’s pace bowling attack that consists of the likes of Mohammed Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Prasidh Krishna and Mohammad Siraj among many.

Bumrah is regarded as the best pace bowler of the current generation, not only for Team India but in the World. Bumrah has garnered praise and respect as a top bowler from around the world ever since he broke into the Indian team after glowing performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Mumbai Indians.

He was key for India’s dominant 2-0 win in the recently concluded 2 match Test series against neighbouring country Sri Lanka. Bumrah finished as the 2nd highest wicket-taker in the series with 10 wickets, behind his teammate Ravichandran Ashwin, who got 12 wickets to his name.

Seeing the right-arm quicks’ performance in the series, in which mostly spin friendly pitch was used, former West Indies cricketer and legendary batsman Ian Bishop praised Bumrah.

Taking to his official Twitter handle, Ian Bishop tweeted, “The man is a generational talent: Bumrah.”
