He Struggles To Pick Up Pace, Says Atherton As He Advises Stokes To Pick Length Early Against Bumrah
New Delhi: Former England captain Michael Atherton has heaped praise on Jasprit Bumrah for his remarkable ability to unsettle even the best in the business with his variations and lethal yorkers.
Atherton's commendation comes in the wake of Bumrah's consistent success against England's star all-rounder Ben Stokes. In the ongoing Test series between India and England, Bumrah has proven to be a thorn in Stokes' side, dismissing him twice in four innings, both times with deliveries that left Stokes struggling to read the pace and bounce.
Speaking on Sky Cricket, Atherton highlighted Stokes' difficulty in picking up the pace of Bumrah's deliveries, attributing his dismissals to the speed and variation in the bowler's arsenal.
