Ravi Shastri praised Jaspreet Bumrah, compared to veterans
Following this commendable performance, former Indian coach Ravi Shastri has issued a audacious statement in an attempt to praise Bumrah.
“There is no question that he is India’s biggest fast bowler. I played with Kapil Dev but this boy is different. He can separate any opposition on any surface, any format.” Shastri said.
Bumrah is undoubtedly one of the greatest players who have played the game of gentleman, but while leveling him beyond the greatness of veteran Kapil Dev, Shastri has given a honor to Bumrah.
This was not the end of Bumrah’s praise as the former Indian coach praised his ability to read the batsman’s mind. He has compared the Indian speedster for the West Indies Great Malcolm Marshal.
“I thought Malcolm Marshall was the best I saw a batsman to read and establish him, but this man is not far behind. When he is swinging a new ball, it becomes difficult for any batsman in the world to counter him, with action and late release,” Shastri said.
