    1st Test: He Is An Absolute Champion, Says Butcher On Bumrah Picking 5-83

    After Jasprit Bumrah: After Jasprit Bumrah's brilliance with the ball got India a six-run lead over England in the first Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test, former England cricketer Mark Butcher hailed the fast-bowling spearhead by calling him an ‘absolute champion’.

    At Headingley on Sunday, Bumrah showed why he’s one of the best fast bowlers in the world by picking an outstanding 5-83 – his 14th five-wicket haul in Tests – to give India a slender first-innings lead. "Bumrah has been utterly outstanding. Irresistible fast bowling. He is an absolute champion," said Butcher on the Sky Sports Cricket broadcast during tea break.

    Bumrah, who picked his third five-wicket haul in England, has also equalled the legendary Kapil Dev for the most fifers for India in away Tests (12). “Bumrah has moved the ball more than anyone else, brought drama, bowled jaffas and deserves the fine applause he received from this crowd. But you do wonder whether he should have been brought into the attack earlier on," added former England bowler Stuart Broad.
