“Bumrah in the world…” No one has praised Bumrah like former Pakistani captain Shoaib Malik before.

New Delhi: Jasprit Bumrah: After defeating Afghanistan by 47 runs in the Super-8 round match in the ongoing T20 World Cup (T20 World Cup 2024), the names of Jasprit Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav are being talked about everywhere. Both of them have raised their stature across the world with their performance. And this is the reason why both of them are getting such comments from every corner of the world, which were never seen or heard before. And when the statement comes from a former captain of Pakistan, it assumes a lot of significance. Now Sania Mirza’s husband and former captain Shoaib Malik, who was impressed by Bumrah’s bowling, has made a big comment for Bumrah.

No one has said what Shoaib said

Although Bumrah is getting praise from different players after this performance, but what Malik said is the biggest comment till date, because he has linked Bumrah with Virat Kohli. Malik said, ‘Bumrah is the Virat Kohli of bowling in the world.’ These few words of Malik are equivalent to a hundred words of praise given by any other player. And you can understand what it means.

The feat is confirming Malik’s words.

Statistics also seem to confirm what Shoaib Malik is saying. Now that Virat Kohli is the master of world records in batting, the same can be said about Bumrah in pace bowling. Now you can see for yourself that out of the 15 overs bowled by Bumrah so far (till the Afghanistan match), 62 balls have been dot (blank), which is a big thing in itself. At the same time, Bumrah’s economy run-rate (3.46) is the lowest among the top 12 bowlers. And this is Jassi’s USP (Unique Selling Points, Specialty), which forces the batsmen to look sideways
