After a brilliant six wickets in the Adelaide Test, Jasprit Bumrah has garnered praise from former Australian seamer Glenn McGrath.
The Aussie pace legend has hailed Bumrah as ‘fantastic’ and ‘an excellent modern-day bowler.’ The Gujarat-born seamer was crucial in India’s 31-run victory against Australia in the opening Test, which was played at the Adelaide Oval. Bumrah, who is famous for his pin-point yorkers, troubled the hosts with his fine line and length as he varied it with some fantastic bouncers and yorkers.
McGrath heaped praises on the 25-year-old seamer by complimenting him on his bowling action and follow through. He further praised his ability to change his length and speed at will. Bumrah during the second innings of the Adelaide Test, picked up the crucial wickets of Shaun Marsh (60), Aussie skipper Tim Paine (41) and Pat Cummins (28) when the hosts were showing some resilience while chasing the 323-run target.
“Bumrah is fantastic. He runs in smoothly and increases his momentum nicely. His follow through is fine too. He is an excellent modern-day bowler. He intelligently varies his length and speed and does so at will,” McGrath said during the Adelaide Test.
