"Bumrah is going to go down as potentially the best fast bowler of all time", Glenn Maxwell heaps praise on Jasprit Bumrah after his Perth heroics (Via X)
Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been a sensation in all formats of the game right from the time he made his international debut. He led the team in Rohit Sharma‘s absence in the first of the five-match Test series against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25 at the Optus Stadium in Perth and registered figures of 8/72 in the Test match.
His bowling performance took India to a 295-runs win over the Aussies. Australian all-rounder, Glenn Maxwell feels that Bumrah is going to become the best fast bowler of all time.
He feels that it might not come with the number of wickets that he has picked in his career, but because of the impact that he has created in all formats. Every batter has faced challenges against Bumrah in all formats.
Bumrah is going to go down as potentially the best fast bowler of all time. Maybe not with the amount of wickets he takes in every format but for the guys that have played against him, it is just so difficult. So difficult. He’s just got such a unique action, unique ability with the ball. He seems like a complete package.
Glenn Maxwell told the Grade cricketer
Bumrah has played 41 Test matches so far and has picked up 181 wickets at an average of 20.06, economy rate of 2.76 and a strike-rate of 43.66. On the other hand, he has played 89 ODIs and picked up 149 wickets at an average of 23.55, with an economy rate of 4.6 and strike-rate of 30.74.
The pacer has also scalped 89 wickets in 70 T20Is with an average of 17.74 and a strike-rate of 16.96. He has an economy rate of 6.28.
Jasprit Bumrah recently became the No. 1 Test bowler in the ICC rankings
Bumrah recently scaled the No. 1 rankings in Test cricket. He has been a sensational bowler in all formats of the game. With all the tricks in his armory, he can swing, seam the ball with extra pace and also is a great death bowler in limited-overs cricket. Bumrah’s control on his line and length has probably made him the best bowler in all formats of the game.
Maxwell also praised Yashasvi Jaiswal and his ability to become one of the greats in Test cricket by the time he finishes his career. He feels that Jaiswal does not have many weaknesses in his technique.
Jaiswal as well, doesn’t seem to have many weaknesses, plays a short ball well, drives well, plays spin unbelievably well and can absorb pressure for periods of time. He’s a guy that’s probably gonna get more than 40 test hundreds and re write some different records as well
Glenn Maxwell said to the Grade cricketer
India will now square off against Australia in the second Test, which will be a Day/Night Test match with the Pink Ball in Adelaide starting from December 6. Sharma will be back in the side after missing the first Test match due to the birth of his baby boy.
