Bumrah took 8 wickets in both the innings of that Test match and for this he was chosen Player of the Match. In the match, India achieved a spectacular victory within four days and took a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. After seeing the brilliant bowling in that match, former England cricket team fast bowler Steven Finn has praised Jasprit Bumrah’s performance in the first Test match against Australia. Finn praised him a lot and even said that he is the best player in the world. Speaking with former England captain Alastair Cook on TNT Sports, Steven Finn said, “Jaiswal scored a brilliant 161, but he is the player I like to watch. That is Jasprit Bumrah. I think he really is the best player in the world. Honestly, sometimes I think bowling like him is a joke! You see him bowling and you just think, I’m glad I don’t have to come out to bat.” He further said, “I was surprised that India went there (Australia) and defeated Australia, where usually it is very difficult to go and play cricket. Perth, I know it’s not the WACA; I know it’s a new stadium, but still, historically, Australia hasn’t lost many matches there. I thought India performed very bravely there.” Let us tell you that, Bumrah now has 118 wickets in 27 Test matches in SENA countries at an impressive average of 22.55, which also includes his career best performance (6/33). During this period, he has taken five wicket hauls 7 times, which is equal to Kapil Dev. They are followed by BS Chandrashekhar and Zaheer Khan (six each), and Bishan Singh Bedi and Anil Kumble (five each).
Why is Jasprit Bumrah the world’s number 1 bowler? Former Pakistani veteran enumerated his merits
In the first Test against Australia, Jasprit Bumrah also won the title of Player of the Match by taking 8 wickets. Jasprit Bumrah & Wasim Akram (Photo Source: Jasprit Bumrah is currently the world number-1 bowler. He is performing brilliantly for India in all three formats. He won the title of Player of the Tournament by taking 15 wickets in the T20 World Cup 2024. Due to Bumrah’s bowling, the fate of the final match was turned and India defeated South Africa. In the absence of Rohit Sharma, Bumrah was recently seen captaining India in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Under his captaincy, India made a great start to the series by defeating Australia by 295 runs in Perth. Bumrah also won the title of Player of the Match by taking 8 wickets. He took 5 wickets for 30 runs in the first innings and 3 wickets for 42 runs in the second innings. Meanwhile, recently former Pakistani legendary bowler Wasim Akram told why Bumrah is a world-class bowler? For this reason Jasprit Bumrah is a different bowler Wasim Akram says Bumrah’s unique bowling technique, his extraordinary release point, which is approximately 34 centimeters ahead of the popping crease, is an important factor. He said that most bowlers usually release from within 10 centimeters of the line. And the extra 24 centimeters by Bumrah is an advantage, allowing the ball to accelerate towards the batsman in an almost unpredictable manner. Wasim Akram while talking on Star Sports said, Bumrah’s bowling arm comes from behind (shoulder), which is hyper-extension and finally as we say in Punjabi “tunka” a flick of the wrist which skids the ball, which as a batsman you do not expect. Especially on wickets where the ball stays low, he has troubled the batsmen with an action that is natural and very difficult to get off with a flick of the wrist at the end. No batter is 💯confident when they see #JaspritBumrah rushing at them!#JaspritBumrah‘s wrist action and skidding of the ball makes it unplayable for Aussie batters!#AUSvINDOnStar 👉 2nd Test FRI, 6th DEC, 8 AM only on Star Sports 1 | #ToughestRivalry pic.twitter.com/D59tfKyRIx — Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) November 27, 2024 Akram further said that there can be a difference of about 40 centimeters in the release point of Bumrah’s delivery, which makes a huge difference in the pace and trajectory. This causes his balls to skid after being pitched, creating further difficulties for batsmen trying to read his bowling. The release point of Bumrah’s ball is also different by about 40 centimeters and at this speed it makes a huge difference and is the reason why his balls skid after being hit.

Jasprit Bumrah & Sunil Gavaskar (Photo Source: Getty Images) The first Test match between India and Australia is being played at the Optus Stadium in Perth. Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar is very angry after seeing the playing XI with which Team India captain has entered in the first match of the series. Washington Sundar has been included as a spin all-rounder in the playing XI for the first Test, while both senior and experienced Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin have been dropped. After seeing this decision of the team management, Sunil Gavaskar scolded head coach Gautam Gambhir and stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah for this decision on live TV. Sunil Gavaskar took Jasprit Bumrah’s class Gavaskar said, ‘It was really surprising that R Ashwin and Jadeja did not play, they have taken 900 wickets in Test matches. He is not a bowler who can play only in Indian or subcontinental conditions. He is a very clever bowler, he is a very experienced bowler. Even if they don’t get you wickets, they will be able to slow down the scoring rate because of the cleverness with which they bowl. Gavaskar further said, ‘I felt that there are very long boundaries on these Australian wickets, so in such a situation you can include both of them in the playing XI. But this is a new management and new thinking. He has gone with Nitish Kumar Reddy, who is a promising player. There is no fault of his in this, but my only question is, is he completely prepared for Test cricket? Former legend, ‘He has not played many first class matches and so clearly, I think, this selection of Nitish is based on expectations and nothing less than that. Like all Indian cricket followers, I hope it is successful. The Indian team won the toss and batted first and the entire team was all out after scoring 150 runs.
