Gautam Gambhir Praises Jasprit Bumrah as World’s Best Fast Bowler
India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has praised star pacer Jasprit Bumrah, calling him the best fast bowler in the world in all formats of cricket. After a long injury layoff, Bumrah returned to the Indian team and played a crucial role in India’s successful T20 World Cup campaign, taking 15 wickets in eight matches at an average of 8.26.
Gambhir highlighted Bumrah’s commitment to Test cricket and his impact on the team. He said, “The best part is he wants to play as much Test cricket as he can. What he has done in T20 format in the West Indies to what he can do in red-ball cricket – what he did against England. It is an honour that we have got someone like Jasprit Bumrah playing for us and sitting in that dressing room, who can make a change and a difference at any stage in the game.”
Bumrah is set to return to Test cricket against Bangladesh in Chennai after starring for India in the England Test series earlier this year.
