[PICTURES/VIDEOS] Jasprit Bumrah is the best fast-bowler in the world right now

IAJ said:
BD is a decent team in LOIs and you remember Shaheens bowling in WC last year against BD right? With Shakib and Mushfiqur Rehman!

Remember Shaheen is only 19 years old. He is almost young enough to play u19 cricket, but he is playing at the highest level already and is improving day by day so trying to undermine his achievement is really unfair.

Where was Bumrah at 19 btw?

Shaheen already played U19.

Playing at a young age isnt all that matters, how you develop from there is what matters.

I rate Shami more. He has an orthodox action and is just as quick.

Bumrah has been clocked as high as 95.2 mph and his average speed was definitely higher than shami's before the stress reaction. Also much more accurate.
 
Robert said:
Hmm, the guys with long careers have orthodox actions. His speed seems to come from his right shoulder rather than the whole body, there is not much coming from the legs and torso. I will be amazed if he has a long career bowling that way.
Click to expand...

His success is based upon this action. So he cannot modify it.
 
He is set to become one of finest LO bowler the game has seen. It's not about taking wickets and maintaining good average only, his economy is phenomenal considering he bowls a good number of overs when the batsmen have to go for big hits.

His overall legacy though will be decided by his performance in test cricket where he has just played 12 tests. If he can take 300+ test wickets at avg under 25, then he is an ATG bowler for me.

I'd say 400 wickets at an average of less than 25, or 350 wickets at an average of around 23 would do it for me.
 
Jasprit Bumrah became the first bowler in T20I cricket to bowl seven maiden overs, going past Sri Lanka's Nuwan Kulasekara who had bowled six overs without conceding a run during his 58-match long career. Jasprit Bumrah broke a world record in his impressive spell of three for 12 from four overs at the Bay Oval as India completed a historic whitewash over New Zealand, becoming the first team to register a series sweep in a bilateral five-match T20I series.

If we had Bumrah in the 99 Tour of Aus, we couldve drawn the series or atleast won 1 test. Laxman and SRT could do damage with the bat, Bumrah and Agarkar could have cause havoc instead of Srinath and Prasad.. He is an amazing bowler, especially considering now he bowls on tracks that favour the batsmen 95% of the time..

If he can keep up that performance for 300 wickets with that action and considering he will be playing a lot of ODIs and tests, I will call him ATG. Once he gets there, then we can discuss where would he fall among the other ATGs. But would love to have an Indian in the top 10 fast bowlers of all-time in test cricket.

Definitely 300 test wickets in today’s world is more than enough to be ATG but has to average less than 23 to be counted as ATG.
 
If he keeps this up, he will be in the reckoning for GOAT discussions.

Dude is an insane bowler.

The best bowler in the world without a doubt.
 
Let's see how he does in the upcoming Test series.
He was completely dominated in the ODI series. And if you put the Australian series that makes 6 ODI's with just one wicket and that too was the last wicket of the innings, Adam Zampa.
 
Should have been eased back in. He came back after a back injury and he is playing every game. India need to manage him.
 
hes out of form, low on confidence and nz played him really well. test cricket will pbly give him some time to settle back into rhythm, unless nz can counter him, in which case he will pbly have to take a step back and evaluate things.
 
Looks to have lost a bit of zip. He seam is still good and still bowls at a decent lick, so early to make bigger judgements but in this series, his zip def wasn't there.

Test cricket would be harsh on his body.
Hopefully he plays only if he’s fully fit. :bumrah

I think the Kiwis have worked him out very well. In addition to that, the smaller grounds haven't helped his bowling. Whether other teams are able to follow the Kiwi way, is yet to be seen. I think Bumrah would do well in the series after the newzealand tests.

They've done pretty well against him except in the T20 where he got 3/12 in 4. And yes, the grounds are indeed small, especially one boundary which is like 50m lol. Any way, these are very temporary things, form will come and go and come back again - I am more concerned about Bumrah aggravating his injury. Too many bowlers have lost their mojo due to injuries and I hope he doesn't end up in that list.
 
Already found out after one year of brilliance. Better teams like Aus & Eng will hammer him even more. Once hes attacked he looks lost. Even Fakhar Zaman hammered him in CT final.

That is a very interesting comment. I would think teams would be able to work out bowlers quickly if they get flustered because of someone hitting them a few times. I feel instead he actually has become too predictable. From what I saw, it looked like he kept trying to bring the ball into the batsmen and they could just easily line him up and flick or pull him. Due to his recent injury, I did not see a lot of yorkers from him either and I am not sure he bowls slower deliveries.
 
Mahee said:
Overrated bowler...he will out of the team very soon
Click to expand...

I don't think that would be the case. India only had him and Shami, the rest of their bench strength is made from support bowlers who had been hiding behind these 2 shining stars. If Bumrah does not recover, the rise of Indian fast bowling factory would be a short one, I am afraid.

still living off that one fluke win lol. Bumrah will bounce back stronger than ever.

Every bowlers goes through peaks and troughs. modern era are thoroughly analyzed due to advanced technology. Unlike the past, especially pre 2010 era, modern era bowlers have to work on improving and evolving their skillset constantly.

Bumrah will be back in full form as he is a very intelligent bowler. He is just coming from a serious injury. It will take some time to get back in form. Once he does find his groove, there will be no doubts about his quality as he is undoubtedly the best bowler in the world.

Bumrah has just played in 4 test series.
He can be the best but way too early to compare him to many other bowlers. Starc just destroyed every other bowler in the WC, won an ODI wc for his country, has 250 test wickets etc.

And your logic to bowl better on the series doesn't mean anything, Kohli was oubatted by Smith in the ODI's, by Williamson in the T20's and by Taylor in the ODI's again.

this sounds reasonable.
 
let's see how he fares vs n.z and then judge him. In tests I mean.Coming back from an injury is always going to be hard.
 
India speedster Jasprit Bumrah lost the top spot but all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja climbed three rungs to grab the seventh position in the latest ICC ODI rankings released on Wednesday.

Bumrah, who went wicketless in India’s 0-3 loss to New Zealand in the just-concluded three-match series, was placed at the second position with 719 points in the bowling chart.

Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who snapped six wickets in the series, jumped to 13th spot even as chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav slipped to the 16th place.

Read: Rahul ton in vain, New Zealand beats India to complete 3-0 whitewash

Kiwi pacer Trent Boult, despite missing the limited-overs series against India due to a broken hand, moved to the top of the bowling chart after Bumrah slipped.

Jadeja, who took two wickets and scored 63 runs in the series against New Zealand, moved to the seventh spot with 246 points in the all-rounders’ list which saw Afghanistan’s Mohammad Nabi emerge as the new world number one.

In the batting chart, India skipper Virat Kohli and his deputy Rohit Sharma continued to hold on to the top two positions respectively.

So true, having talent at that age is great, but what truly matters from their on is the players temperament and work ethic. Talent only takes you so far.
 
He is still among the top 3 pacers in the world, they shouldve eased him back in after his injury.

Give him like 6 months to get back to where he was before the injury
 
I'll give him benefit of the doubt that he just came back from injury and is still fine tuning and churning his wheels. He should be bowling like his regular self by next series.
 
He was probably the best if we consider performance all 3 formats before his injury but seems to be lacking rhythm and bite since injury. His action produces too much strain on his body so there will always be a risk of him getting back issues and side strain issues. He will have to work hard as its natural for any athlete to have a mental block after an injury and as said Bumrah's action tests his back the part which was injured again and again so he obviously will have that bit of fear in mind.

he has put on some muscle. You can notice it a little. His arms have become slightly thicker along with his shoulders. Lets see how it pans out. He was a stick figure before. So atleast he is ripped now. He should be fine. Lean and ripped body is ideal for a cricket bowler anyway.

naseem's action puts more strain on his left rib/back in my opinion but the kid seems pretty built. He should be fine too. Most fast bowlers will get Injured often. Look at lockie?

Bowling like Anderson, mcgrath, steyn, lee is the way to go. Just perfect actions. Not much pressure on your back and ribs.
 
How good is Jasprit Bumrah in Tests?

jasprit bumrah averages 20.3 in teests at the moment
he averages 9.25 vs windies
his average against australia is 16.xx
his average against southafrica is 25.2
his average against england is 25.9
bumrah averages 31.xx vs newzealand

now if we have a look at batting lineups

all the averages of batsmen mentioned are career averages

windies
kraig braithwaite averages 33 in 59 games all other windies battters average between 25 to 34 who played that series

australia
khwaja, finch, haris,and handscomb are not able come back in Australian team head averages 42 wich i think is highest for any australian batsman who played that series

south africa

main batsmen included develiers amla etc
england
root cook and stokes main pillars of batting
newzealan
ross taylor wiilliamson etc

i have not mentioned stats of famous batsmen
whats your thought on bumrah
in my personal opinion none of above is a batting power house bumrah might face one in india's tour of australia
 
Last edited:
He is the next big thing from India in terms of bowling. A future all-format great of the game condition if he maintains his fitness. An average of 20 in his first tour outside subcontinent is a brilliant start to his test career.
 
Will judge him on how he performs against Warner, Labuschagne and Smith at the end of the year.
 
Shaheen will be the best in a years time, unless Coronavirus cancels the England and NZ test series.
 
Jasprit Bumrah Should Not Run After County Cricket: Wasim Akram

Legendary Wasim Akram believes the someone like Jasprit Bumrah shouldn't exhaust himself by playing in the English county as he is already playing three formats of international cricket. It must be noted that Bumrah till date has not played county cricket as he is one of the biggest draws of Indian Premier League, which has a gruelling schedule.

"Cricket has become too much today. A guy like Bumrah being a top bowler, India no.1, I would have suggested him to relax and not run after county cricket. Young players need to play more first class cricket from there they will learn bowling," Akram said. However Test cricket remains the ultimate format for the 'Sultan of Swing'. "T20 is amazing, good entertainment; there's plenty of money involved and I'm all in for the importance of money in a sport and the players," Akram, regarded as one of the greatest left-arm pacers the game has ever produced told Aakash Chopra on his YouTube channel.

"They won't learn bowling from T20. I don't judge a player by T20 performance, I judge them from their performances in longer version of cricket." Akram also recalled his initial days as a Pakistan cricketer and said he absolutely had no clue about his talent. "When I came in the team as an youngster I used to listen to Imran (Khan) bhai, Javed (Miandad) bhai, Mudassar Nazar that this kid has talent but that time I didn't understand what they were trying to say.

"Then I asked Imran Khan and he said your pace is deceptive and swing the ball and then I started to work on those areas. "Nothing comes easy was one advise which I learnt from all this three players all though their ways were different. As a bowler our job is to create doubts in the minds of the batsmen. I enjoyed the tag that I am talented," said Akram.

India has 38 FC teams. The quality no way near international sides. Not saying Bumrah is'nt great. He is probably the best or top atm but he has played all his matches on sporting SENA pitches where Cummins has performed better. Bumrah also has to sustain his performance longer. Has'nt even hot 100 test wickets yet

That's what I said? Cummins is ahead in Australia and n.z. only just in Australia.
Bumrah is better in South Africa I would say. The wickets there suit his style.

England is a tossup and I have no doubt bumrah is better than Cummins in Asia.

Actually I am not even sure if Cummins is ahead in Australia. Record is quite close.

The chances of him failing at home or in Bangladesh or Sri Lanka is minimal. Half of the pressure will be built by our batsmen and spinners.

Shami and Umesh both average under 25 with the SG bowl at home and they are actually pretty good in subcontinent because they attack the stumps and know how to bowl in subcontinent to get success there.

Not just good. Shami and Umesh are ATGS in Asia. One of the best ever in Asian Condtions.
 
Most Test Wickets by Indian at MCG

15 - Kumble (6 Inngs)
14 - Ashwin (6 Inngs)*

Jasprit Bumrah in India's away Test wins -

Johannesburg - 5/54 & 2/57
Trent Bridge - 2/37 & 5/85
Adelaide - 3/47 & 3/68
Melbourne - 6/33 & 3/53
Antigua - 1/55 & 5/7
Kingston - 6/27 & 1/31
Melbourne - 4/56 & 2/54

That's 48 wkts @ 13.83 in 7 Tests
Absolutely top class
 
Since Bumrah's debut India have won 7 Tests outside Asia and Indian bowlers in those wins

Bumrah - 48 wkts @ 13.8
Shami - 25 wkts @ 23.5
Ishant - 24 wkts @ 19.5
Five wicket hauls
Bumrah - 5
Ishant - 1

38 teams was introduced couple of seasons back only. Bumrah was already a test player then. Secondly there are two tiers in the Ranji trophy.
 
The post-injury series in NZ was a disappointment. I thought he was gone for good as his accuracy was very bad. I am glad he is back.

I agree. He has a very bright future. Very tall, lanky. Relatively injury-free action. He can exploit most surfaces in the world.
 
If Bumrah sustains his performance for another 5 years he will finish as one of the greatest bowlers of all time. Should pick atleast 300 test wickets to be one of the greats

Do you think Bumrah’s bowling action could be an issue for him? Doesn’t seem the best for the body.

He has 70-80 wickets right now and it would be a shame if he doesn’t reach atleast 200 because I think he needs to hit atleast that mark to enter conversations of joining elite bowlers of the game.

I think his body is adjusted to that by now as its been more than four years since he made international debut. My only worry is that he playing all the three formats and IPL. BCCI should keep rest him against non-big 3 at home and also in bilateral T20s which no one cares about. Play him in bliateral T20s only in the years preceding to a T20 WC.

May be true, but when we look at data for pre-2015 and 2015 onwards....

Pre-2015 - Aus batting avg in Aus at home - 35 runs per wicket.

1 Jan 2000 - 31 dec 2014 - batting avg of Aus at home - 45 runs per wicket.

Since 2015 - Aus batting avg in Aus - 45 runs per wicket.

The same Aus batting has been scoring heavily against other bowlers at home.

take out Smith and I’m sure that drops to worrying levels.

However take out Ponting (best Aus batsmen In period) from 2000-2015 period and I am sure it wouldn’t move the needle a whole lot.

The supporting case right now are Head, Wade and Burns etc. back then it was Martyn, Clarke, Langer, Hayden etc and even later it was Hussey, Katich who are improvement on the current lot.

For ATG status, one must take 300 wickets( disregarding 10-20 more or less) at average less than 25 IMO. Anything less than 200 wickets is under-achieving in tests.

We should follow rotation policy for home tests.

No direct screen, but here you go...

17,517 runs at 45 runs per wicket - 389 wickets

34 wickets were Smith with 2287 runs

So we are left with 15,230 runs with 355 wickets.

Excluding Smith, since 2015, Aus team has scored 43 runs per wicket.

The bowlers bowling pre 2015 and 2010 were getting bouncier and meaner pitches in Australia, unlike the batting roads of today. In any event, giving the logic of better batsmen and better bowlers doesn't hold water in a discussion. A bowler can only bowl to who he is presented with.
Too bad the bowlers pre 2015 couldn't achieve this feat. But as of today, Bumrah is the best in Australia!
 
Since 2015, You have

Warner averaging 78 ( 23 tests)
Khawaja Averaging 54 ( 21 tests)
Labu averaging 72 ( 10 tests)
Marsh averaging 50 ( 13 tests)
Head averaging 46 ( 13 tests)
Handcomb averaging 47 ( 9 tests)
Renshaw averaging 63 ( 4 tests )
Burn averaging 40 ( 17 tests)

Many of them may not look gun names here, but I see them as similar to Indian batsmen. No-name Indian batsmen score heavily in India. Same way, many Aus batsmen have scored heavily in Aus since 2015. Average even after excluding Smith is around 43.

Hmm I guess then I stand corrected.
 
Bumrah is the xfactor in this Indian side
India can win without Kholi and Sharma, not without Bumrah

Tier 1 bowlers
Bumrah -Rabada - Cummins

For home tests, I don’t think we need him honestly for non-big 3. Both Shami and Yadav have become absolute masters in using the SG ball and would be more than enough.

Nah, I also did not expect Aus excluding Smith scoring around 43 runs. I also expected to see a bigger drop before calculating.

I guess, most Aus batsmen, even if they are not top class, score heavily at home due to opposition bowlers not adjusting well in Aus.
