Former Cricketer Heaps Praise On Jasprit Bumrah

While speaking on JioHotstar, Parthiv Patel heaped praise on Jasprit Bumrah, saying that he has a unique ability to nail the Yorkers.

“We’ve seen Jasprit Bumrah nailing those yorkers to perfection. He has that unique ability. It’s tough to play such deliveries. How many times have we seen him bowl those yorkers since 2013? For the last 12 years, I’ve been saying that no one can deliver yorkers like Bumrah, and he keeps doing it again and again,” Parthiv Patel said.

Jasprit Bumrah played his maiden Test match against South Africa in 2018 in Cape Town. In the long format, the 31-year-old played 48 matches and 91 innings, picking up 219 wickets at an economy rate of 2.78 and an average of 19.82.
