Srinagar: Former Australia captain Rickey Ponting has made huge praise of India pacer Jasprit Bumrah who emerged out as player of the series in Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Bumran picked up 32 wickets at a strike rate of 28.38.
Ponting was highly impressed with Bumrah’s performance and rated him best in the business.
“No doubt, it’s probably the best series of fast bowling I’ve ever seen. Yes, they had good conditions, the fast bowlers, for most of this series. But when you watched him (Bumrah) bowl compared to anyone else in the series, he made batting look so much harder,” Ponting told ICC.
“Little frustrating but sometimes you have to respect your body, you can’t fight your body,” Bumrah said in the post-match presentation. “Disappointing, probably missed out on the spiciest wicket of the series. I felt a bit of discomfort during my second spell in the first innings.”
