Michael Vaughan, a former England captain, maintained Bumrah’s level of play alongside Wasim Akram. India defeated South Africa at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on June 29 to win their second T20 World Cup title, and Jasprit Bumrah was named Man of the Series. Whenever India collapsed, Bumrah took the lead and made vital discoveries. Of all the bowlers in the T20 World Cup, the renowned Indian pacer had the lowest economy rate. He took 15 wickets with an economy rate of 4.17 and an average of 8.26.
Bumrah played his finest session when South Africa advanced to the final, nearly winning thanks to Heinrich Klaasen’s 52 off 27 to seal the deal for the Proteas. In his four overs, he conceded just eighteen runs while taking two wickets. In the final five overs, when the Proteas needed to score at nearly a run-a-ball, the pacer who bowled two overs only conceded one and six runs, respectively.
“He is undoubtedly a fantastic bowler who intends to ball against every type of batter, but you still need to have the skill sets and know which deliveries to bowl at what time. Tell me about a superior seam bowler, please. I know Wasim Akram was unique, and there are too many others to name, but I just think he has such a great action ability, the pace, all the varied skill sets, and he performs well under pressure every single day. It isn’t limited to two or three World Cups. According to Vaughan, as cited by Wisden, “it’s pretty much every single game.”
Sincerely, I believe he is the best seam bowler to have ever played white ball cricket: Michael Vaughan
The powerplay was where the Indian pace prodigy really shone brightest, taking Reeza Hendricks’ wicket to initiate the avalanche of bowling. The presenters cried out that the delivery was unplayable, and he mimicked that reaction when he dressed up Marco Jansen in his final moments. Highlighting these wickets, Vaughan called Bumrah the finest seam bowler.

“Reeza Hendricks’s first one is just too cute. At the last second, it whips away and hits the off stump, but he’s probably angled in to hit the leg stump. Though it goes beyond that, the ball that Jansen retrieves again is only angled in through the gate. With the other deliveries, you can tell that the hitters are attempting to hit him because he just kind of follows them to deny them any width. When he sees that they have some room, he throws the ball a little wider because he has a slower ball that is delivered brilliantly. He went on, “I genuinely believe he’s the best seam bowler to have played white ball cricket.
