With a skip and a stutter, Bumrah conjures up another miracle
Hindustan TimesJasprit Bumrah is the best bowler I have ever seen. India's Jasprit Bumrah in action against Pakistan This list includes Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis of Pakistan, Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh of West Indies, the South Africans Allan Donald and Dale Steyn, England’s Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad, Glenn McGrath and Pat Cummins of Australia. Brought on mid-innings for his second spell, Bumrah slipped to the well-set Mohammad Rizwan a delivery that beat him with change of pace, dip, turn – the tricks a master offspinner might do in his adversary with. This is not considering the rest of Bumrah’s brilliant spell, without which these moments may have never come about, or for that matter his excellent new-ball spell. Yet the skipping and stuttering never entirely disappears and he is suddenly in his now-iconic tinman delivery stride: one fisted arm stretched straight ahead, the other, cradling the ball, raised up like an antenna.
