The one who created division in Team India became a fan of Jaspreet Bumrah, and compared him with these two great bowlers.
Jasprit Bumrah is considered the best bowler in the world at present. In the recent past, many great players have praised him and called him the best bowler in all three formats of cricket. He is also currently the number-one bowler in the Test rankings. Bumrah achieved this position after the victory in the Perth Test. Now Australian legend Greg Chappell, who once created divisions in Team India, has also become a fan of Bumrah's bowling. Chappell, who has been the coach of India, has compared him to two great bowlers. Let us tell you that in 2007, during the captaincy of Sourav Ganguly, many players of Team India had accused Chappell of creating divisions.
Told Bumrah a mixture of two giants
For some time now, Jasprit Bumrah has been on fire with his bowling in every format. First in the ODI World Cup, then in the T20 World Cup and now in the Test, he has impressed everyone. Greg Chappell recently wrote a column in the Australian newspaper Sydney Morning Herald. In this, he has praised Bumrah a lot. Australia's Dennis Lillee and West Indies' Andy Roberts are counted among the greatest fast bowlers. It is said that they had all the bowling qualities. In his column, Chappell has described Bumrah as a mixture of both of them.
Chappell wrote that Lillee was like a warrior. He had aggression, the art of bowling in a channel. He was also mentally very strong. Roberts had the skill of trapping batsmen. He used to set them up and get them out. Batsmen were completely helpless in front of his dangerous bouncers and yorkers. He had a lot of variations, which gave him a lot of success. According to Chappell, Bumrah is not overly aggressive. But like Lillee and Roberts, he has all the other qualities.
Bumrah hunts by keeping calm
Greg Chappell said about Bumrah that he does not show physical aggression like Lillee. But his bowling is just as aggressive as him. He hunts down targets while bowling lethally with calmness. Bumrah's unorthodox action and master control over the ball make him the king of the new era. According to Chappell, Bumrah believes in strategy instead of strength. This thing makes him the Andy Roberts of the new era. Chappell called Bumrah a complete bowler.
