This is how Jasprit Bumrah acts under pressure- Michael Vaughan Michael Vaughan, speaking to Wisden, said, He is a great bowler who plans to bowl against all different batsmen but you still have to have the skill set and you have to know when to bowl which ball. If you can tell me any better seam bowler. I know Wasim Akram was special and there are many others who have been mentioned but I think he has amazing action ability and he has pace, he has all the different skills and he does it day in and day out under pressure. It is not just two or three times in a World Cup. South Africa needed 30 runs from the last 30 balls to win the final in Barbados.

He dismissed Reeza Hendricks (4) and Marco Jansen (2). Describing Jasprit Bumrah as the best fast bowler, Michael Vaughan further said, The wicket of Reeza Hendricks was brilliant. He probably bent to hit the ball on leg stump and at the last minute the ball moved away and hit the off stump. The ball that bowled Jensen was also brilliant. Batsmen are trying to hit him, he just follows them so they don’t get any width and then he sees they’ve got a bit of space and he bowls it a bit wide. He has that slower ball which is a genius ball. He is the best fast bowler to have played white ball cricket.
