Vernon Philander, a former South African international, praised Jasprit Bumrah following his triumph in the opening two Test matches against England. Bumrah is presently leading the series’ five-match wicket-taker with 15 wickets in just two matches. In addition, he is the world’s top-ranked Test bowler. Philander praised him for his accomplishments, saying that the Indian pacer is the world’s most “complete bowler” right now.
The 38-year-old continued by saying that Bumrah once let up a lot of runs by delivering deliveries that took wickets. But according to Philander, the pacer from Ahmedabad has been successful in Test cricket recently because he has learned to be more consistent with his line and lengths.
“At the moment, Bumrah is the most complete bowler. The Hindustan Times cited Vernon Philander as saying, “He has got amazing skills and he’s also learned the trade of holding a line and length, and that’s the reason behind his success at the test level.” “He learned consistency now; at first, he wanted to bowl wicket-taking deliveries all the time and leak runs.”
Additionally, Vernon Philander thinks Bumrah has what it takes to emerge as the top scorer in the June 1st start of the T20 World Cup.
He mentioned that the pacer can challenge the hitters in both the powerplay and the death overs since he can swing the new ball and has a deadly yorker in his arsenal.
“He challenges the hitters up front, strokes the new ball, and brings the stumps into action. His ability to execute deadly yorkers and change-ups is exceptional, and in the T20 World Cup, it is the kind of skill you want. I think he’s going to be the best seamer and he’s going to play a big part in the tournament,” Vernon Philander said.
Bumrah may be rested from the third Test against England in the meantime to manage his workload, according to sources. When they get back together in Rajkot, the team management may choose not to go along with it.
