Jasprit Bumrah is currently the ‘best’ all-format bowler in the world. He has also proved himself as one of the greatest all-format bowler in cricket history.

However, he suffered a severe injury which kept him out of cricket for one and half years. He made his comeback to the field against Ireland in 2023 and since then he has been sensational with the ball as if he has never been out of the field. New Zealand pacer, Tim Southee, praised Bumrah for his impressive comeback after a major injury.

The Kiwi pacer said that Bumrah has not only come back from injury but also took his performance to. anew level. He added that the Indian pacer manages to keep up his performance at the same level in all formats of the game. He adde that Bumrah gained more knowledge and came back with more energy after spending time out of the game with his injury.

To be able to firstly bounce back from the major injury and come back, he’s even better than what he was beforehand. Throw in on top of that, having to juggle multiple formats, can be difficult at times as well. He seems to have been able to do that with ease as well. He’s probably more experienced and understands his game a bit more.

Southee highlighted that Bumrah is currently the best fast bowler Test, ODI, and T20 formats. He also emphasized that Bumrah is equally brilliant in all the three formats and there is no bowler who can be compared to him currently.

Jasprit Bumrah was sensational in the ICC T20 World Cup in 2024

India became champions of the ICC T20 World Cup in 2024 without losing any game. Bumrah played an integral part in India’s triumph and won the Man of the Tournament award. He scalped 15 wickets in the 29.4 overs he bowled and gave away just 12 boundaries. In those boundaries, there were just two sixes.

Bumrah’s economy rate was 4.17 in the tournament, which is also the best for anyone who has bowled 100-plus balls in a single edition of the men’s T20 World Cup. The paceman was equally sensational in the home Test series against England as he provided crucial breakthroughs in on pitches which had no help for the fast bowlers. Bumrah has been given a rest since the T20 World Cup in 2024 to manage his workload.
