'Balanced And Brutal': Broad And Buttler Hail Bumrah As India’s Trump Card For England Tests
England Tests: Jasprit Bumrah, India’s fast bowling talisman, is already casting a long shadow over the upcoming five-Test series against England, with two of England’s modern greats - Stuart Broad and Jos Buttler - showering rich praise on the pacer’s skill, uniqueness and match-winning potential.
Speaking on the ‘For the Love of Cricket’ podcast, the retired fast bowling legend Stuart Broad compared Bumrah’s bowling action and delivery stride to the great Glenn McGrath, describing him as “the player to watch out for” in the marquee series that kicks off Friday in Leeds.
“He jogs in, you will be thinking ‘this will be 70 miles an hour’ and it hits you at 90 and you don’t get a real flow,” Broad said, explaining how Bumrah’s deceptive pace and rhythmless approach confound batters. “When I faced Shoaib Akhtar, he sprinted in at a hundred miles an hour and delivered at a hundred miles an hour. You were ready. But Bumrah is so balanced, in his run-up - it’s a short-stride pattern, so he never gets over stride and out of balance.”
