Jasprit Bumrah Has Been Brilliant Across All Three Formats At The Moment, Says Tim Southee
ODI World Cup: New Zealand men’s Test captain Tim Southee has said that India’s fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has been brilliant in his showings across all three formats and added the pacer has been a force to reckon with since his return from a back injury which kept him 11 months away from the game. Southee is the second cricket star after Australia legend Ricky Ponting to hail Bumrah as a brilliant all-format bowler in the world.
Bumrah was back into action just in time for last year’s ODI World Cup, where he picked 20 wickets, and went on to claim 19 scalps in four Tests against England earlier this year. In June, Bumrah was named Player of the Tournament by picking 15 wickets at an economy rate of 4.17 as India won the Men’s T20 World Cup.
“He's been incredible obviously to be able to firstly bounce back from the major injury he had and come back and he's even better than what he was beforehand and then throw in on top of that having to juggle multiple formats can be difficult at times as well and he seems to have been able to do that with ease as well,” said Southee.
