jasprit bumrah shows his class . Team India’s position in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy being played in Australia may be looking shaky at the moment, even though Team Rohit’s chances of reaching the WTC Final have become quite difficult, but despite this, the biggest thing that has been seen from India is Jasprit Bumrah’s crippling the Kangaroo batsmen to a great extent. If we leave out Travis Head, then Bumrah’s terror can be clearly seen on the entire Australian batting. The stormy performance of the Indian pacer so far in the series is clearly telling this. Bumrah has put many records in his bag in just three Test matches, but one achievement that he has achieved is enough to call him the best bowler of this era. In fact, if Bumrah had got support from the other end, then certainly the picture of Team India’s journey so far would have been different.
There is no one like Jassi, this happened 93 years ago
There is no doubt that Jasprit has been left alone at one end in the series so far. But the effect of not getting support from the other end was not visible on him. So far (third Test), Bumrah has taken 21 wickets at an average of 10.90. Bumrah’s dominance has been so tremendous that before him, it has happened only once that a bowler has taken more wickets than Jasprit at a better average in Australia, on home ground or anywhere else. And this happened 93 years ago. At that time, this feat was achieved by Australia’s former left-arm spinner Herberton Irnomonger in the year 1991. Then this former pacer had an average of 9.54. And after the year 1931, only Bumrah has achieved such a better average.
This aspect of Siraj got hidden in front of Asar
In fact, this dominance of Bumrah seems to be going against India only. This feat has made the actual attack of Team India look much worse. However, in reality it is not so at all, but the impact of Bumrah’s performance is so high that not only the Indian, but also the Kangaroo pacers are looking hidden. For example, Mohammad Siraj has taken 13 wickets in this series so far (third Test) at an average of 23.92. The Indian pacer is just one wicket behind Cummins and Starc. His average is better than Cummins, but he is behind Starc. All these three bowlers together have taken a wicket after every 38 balls so far. This is Siraj’s best average in a series of three or more Test matches, but Bumrah’s impact has been so high that this aspect has disappeared.
