Former Pakistan captain calls Jasprit Bumrah ‘legend of all formats’

Premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been leading the Indian bowling attack for a long time. The unorthodox pacer also played a pivotal role to help India emerge champions in the recently-concluded T20 World Cup.

Bumrah captured a total of 15 wickets in the marquee event to bag the player of the tournament award. With his fiery pace and lethal yorkers, Bumrah brought Team India out from the jaws of defeat on numerous occasions. Bumrah is currently one of the greatest fast bowlers in the world.

Recently, former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja heaped praise on Bumrah, calling him a ‘legend of all three formats’.

“In my book, Jasprit Bumrah is a legend in all three formats. There is no one greater who has played all three formats. So you can see, where this boy came from, he lacked confidence, had an awkward bowling action. He was unfit, but he came back, and now he has made India win the World Cup,” said Raja on his official YouTube channel.

Notably, Ramiz’s statement came after an old video of India’s new head coach Gautam Gambhir started surfacing online, where he was seen talking about having more all-format players in the pool.
