Pakistani great Wasim Akram has made some bold claims about the performance of Jasprit Bumrah, suggesting that the bowling star of Team India is better than the fast bowlers of Pakistan. Bumrah has been at his best at the ongoing ODI World Cup at home.
His performances at the tournament earned him praise from many cricket legends, including Pakistani bowling great Akram. While speaking, Akram was asked, “Why can Pakistan bowlers not bowl like Jasprit Bumrah?"
The cricket legend claimed that the bowling prowess of Bumrah across different formats of the game gives him an edge over Pakistani pacers. While answering the question, the former pacer said, “Our bowlers don’t play the long format, while Bumrah also plays Test cricket."
Akram wasn’t just done there; he went on to explain the technique of Bumrah and the reasons that made him the world’s best. In the panel discussion, Akram said, “He is the best in the world right now. Top of the ladder. The way he is performing—the control, the pace, the variations He’s just a complete bowler.
