Some said the complete package, some called Terminator…’ What are the legends saying for Jasprit Bumrah, what did Wasim Akram say?

New Delhi. Australia’s middle-order batsman Steve Smith believes that India’s star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah’s quirky bowling action and extraordinary skills make him the complete package. Captaining in the absence of regular captain Rohit Sharma, Bumrah took eight wickets in the first Test against Australia and was adjudged ‘Player of the Match’.

Smith told ‘Sydney Morning Herald’, “His bowling action is strange right from the beginning of his runup.” He runs in a different way and the last movement of his action is also strange. I have faced him many times and every time it takes time to settle down at the crease against him. “In the first innings of the first Test, Smith was dismissed by Bumrah.

Steve Smith further said, “He comes close to you and releases the ball so that you don’t get time.” Apart from this, he can swing the ball from both sides. Reverse swing, slow ball, good bouncers, he has everything. He is a complete package as a bowler.

Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram said that when Bumrah releases the ball, he is at least one foot closer to the batsman than other bowlers, which makes it difficult to catch the length of the ball. Former fast bowler Damien Martyn said, “He is a terminator.” He knows his strengths and finds the weaknesses of the batsman. His runup is not long but he bowls very cleverly.
