Bumrah Is Probably The Best Multi-format Bowler There's Been In World Cricket: Ponting
T20 World Cup: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes that India pacer Jasprit Bumrah is the best multi-format bowler there's been in world cricket in recent times. The 30-year-old has come back an improved player despite his injuries in 2022. Bumrah was Player of the Tournament in India’s successful ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 campaign earlier this year, finishing as the third-highest wicket-taker (15 wickets), and was the most economical bowler in the team (4.17).
He has been similarly effective in ODIs and Tests, ranking eighth in the 50-over format and second, alongside Josh Hazlewood, with the red ball.
Bumrah struggled with a back injury in 2022 -– it ruled him out of the Asia Cup and the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. “I've said it for a long time, he's probably been the best multi-format bowler there's been in world cricket for the last five or six years,” Ponting said in the ICC Review.
