Michael Vaughan calls Jasprit Bumrah the greatest bowler ever
Now former England captain Michael Vaughan has made a big claim which has shocked the fans. Vaughan openly suggested that if Bumrah had been a part of the England national cricket team, they could have easily won the ICC T20 World Cup 2026.
The commentator further said that Bumrah is so good that any team in the world will become stronger with him, describing him as the best bowler ever. He even put the Indian fast bowler in the league of iconic footballers Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Michael Vaughan said on the Stick to Cricket podcast, “I think if you put Jasprit Bumrah in the England team, they win it. I think they put him in anybody’s team. Maybe Lionel Messi, Ronaldo, that kind of thing. He’s the best bowler I’ve ever seen. I started watching cricket probably in 85 or 86, when I really started studying cricket. And he’s the best I’ve seen. You know, I haven’t seen…”

Alastair Cook questions Jasprit Bumrah’s match-winning spells in Test cricket
Although former England captain Alastair Cook praised Bumrah’s incredible impact across all formats of the game, he was not as impressed with his Test performances, especially in Australia.
Cook said during the same discussion, “Sorry, is he the best in match-winning spells in Test cricket? The only thing I don’t like is that he is certainly, without a doubt, the best all-format bowler. And I think you can say that safely. In any form, he is the best all-round bowler. Has he bowled some spells, like in a Test match? And I’m not quite a connoisseur.”
To which Vaughan said, “I’ve seen him do some magic in Australia that are completely different. Flat decks. And he’s a really nice guy. He’s lovely.”
