T20 World Cup: Former England fast bowlers Stuart Broad and Steven Finn have lavished praise on India’s pace spearhead, Jasprit Bumrah, calling him the ‘greatest pacer ever’ following his match-winning performance against England in the T20 World Cup semifinal.
Bumrah played a pivotal role in India’s dominant victory, delivering a stunning 18th over where he conceded just six runs, effectively derailing England’s chase. His exceptional bowling helped India reach the final for the second consecutive edition of the T20 World Cup. In a high-scoring match, where both teams maintained a near 12.5 runs per over rate, Bumrah gave away only 33 runs across his four overs and claimed the crucial wicket of England captain Harry Brook with his very first delivery.
Steven Finn, who represented England between 2010 and 2016, was full of admiration for Bumrah’s skills, declaring him the greatest bowler of all time. “Everyone else is mortal. There are good bowlers, there are great bowlers, but then there is Jasprit Bumrah, who sits above all of them at the moment. And I include people like (Pat) Cummins, (Mitchell) Starc. I think he’s just on another planet when compared to any other bowler,” Finn said in a conversation with Broad.
