Former England Captain explains why Jasprit Bumrah is better bowler than Shaheen Afridi, Trent Boult

Srinagar: India’s ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah was his best on Tuesday, as the pacer ran through English batting lineup to register his best ODI bowling figures.

In the match, Bumrah bagged six wicket haul for 19 runs as India bundled out England for 110 run total and then went on to register a 10 wicket victory at at Kennington Oval in London.

In the process Bumrah became the first Indian pacer to register a six-wicket haul in England in an ODI match.
The performance also saw the bowler registering his best ODI figures.

After the match, former England captain Michael Vaughan termed Bumrah as “the best bowler across formats”.

“Without any question, he (Jasprit Bumrah) is the best bowler across all formats by a country mile. You can put Shaheen Shah Afridi, Trent Boult, these kind of bowlers in that kind of category but Jasprit Bumrah with his pace, his skills, wobble seam, swing, yorkers and dipping slower balls, continuously always seems to get better and better,” said Vaughan on Cricbuzz after the first ODI between India and England.

“All the batters now have seen plenty of him over the last few years but there is still a very few that can really get on top of Jasprit Bumrah in T20 cricket, in 50-over cricket and also in Test cricket… I just think he is miles ahead of anyone else,” Vaughan added.
