“Jasprit Bumrah Is The Fast Bowler,” Says Steve Smith

The cricketing world has seen many pace bowlers come and go, but few have made an impact as profound as Jasprit Bumrah. As we delve into the debate of whether Bumrah is the best pace bowler in the world, his stats, accolades, and the opinions of his peers paint a compelling picture.

“Jasprit Bumrah Is The Fast Bowler,” Says Steve Smith

A Pace Apart

Bumrah’s journey from a relatively unknown cricketer to a global sensation is marked by his unique bowling action and lethal accuracy. His ability to swing the ball both ways, coupled with pinpoint yorkers, makes him a nightmare for batsmen worldwide. His recent performance in the T20 World Cup 2024, where he clinched crucial wickets at pivotal moments, showcases his prowess under pressure.

The Numbers Speak

Since his Test debut in January 2018, Bumrah has taken 164 wickets in 37 matches, averaging an impressive 20.51. These numbers alone would argue his case, but it’s his consistency across formats that sets him apart. His performance in ODIs and T20Is is equally formidable, making him one of the few bowlers to rank at the top in all three formats.

Peer Praise

When a seasoned campaigner like Steve Smith speaks of Bumrah’s skills with reverence, it’s worth noting. Smith’s acknowledgment of Bumrah’s effectiveness with the new, slightly older, and old ball highlights the Indian bowler’s versatility and mastery over different conditions. Such endorsements from players of Smith’s caliber add weight to Bumrah’s reputation.

The ‘Kohinoor’ of Indian Cricket

In a cricketing culture that often idolizes batsmen, Bumrah has become the ‘Kohinoor’ — a diamond that shines brighter than most. His rise has not only been about individual accolades but also about changing the narrative around bowlers in Indian cricket. His impact has been so significant that even critics now hesitate to question his stature.

The Challenge Ahead

With the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on the horizon, all eyes will be on Bumrah. If India aims to continue their winning streak in Australia, much will depend on Bumrah’s ability to perform on pitches that might not always favor his style. Yet, his track record in Australia, where he has taken 32 wickets from 7 matches, suggests he’s up for the challenge.

While the debate about the ‘best’ in cricket often stirs controversy, Jasprit Bumrah’s case is bolstered by statistics, expert opinions, and his impact on the game. Whether it’s the raw pace, the swing, or the sheer ability to outthink batsmen, Bumrah embodies what many consider the pinnacle of pace bowling today. His journey continues to unfold, promising more records and perhaps, more undisputed nights as the world’s best pace bowler.
