England all-rounder Chris Woakes hailed India’s ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah as the ‘best all-format fast bowler’ in the world. Woakes seemed impressed by Bumrah's unique action, which makes him deadly in the white-ball format.
Talking to Wisden Cricket Monthly, the English star said, “Jasprit Bumrah is the No. 1 I think, probably across all formats. He's pretty sensational with what he does and he's unique, right? His action is very different from anyone else and he has got a high pace, a gun, slower ball, a yorker on tap - everything you need as a white-ball bowler.”
Bumrah returned to action after a prolonged injury layoff after a gap of 11 months in which he underwent back surgery. Upon his return, the fast bowler led the Indian team for a three-match T20I series against Ireland where he managed to take 4 wickets in 2 matches as the third T20I got abandoned due to rain.
