Jasprit Bumrah / Ricky Ponting praised the Indian bowler wholeheartedly, know what he said

Jasprit Bumrah: Jasprit Bumrah led India to victory in the T20 World Cup 2024 by taking 15 wickets and also won the Player of the Tournament award. His brilliant bowling helped India succeed in the tournament. Ricky Ponting praised Bumrah's return from injury and said that he is the best bowler in many formats in the last five-six years. According to Ponting, Bumrah's bowling is a nightmare for the opponents, as his balls sometimes swing and sometimes seam, making the opposition batsmen uncomfortable.

Ponting praised Bumrah's consistency and skill and said that his performance and speed are still the same. He described Bumrah as on the way to becoming a great player and talked about the consistency of Glenn McGrath and James Anderson as an example. Bumrah has taken 159 wickets in 36 Tests, 149 wickets in 89 ODIs and 89 wickets in 70 T20Is for the Indian team, which is a proof of his multi-faceted bowling.

Bumrah made a strong comeback after recovering from injury

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting said on 'ICC Review' that I have been saying this for a long time that Jasprit Bumrah is probably the best bowler in world cricket for the last five or six years, playing in many formats. A few years ago when he got injured, there was some fear that 'will he be able to perform like before? But I think he has really performed better after coming back.

He is a nightmare for the opposing players

This former Australian captain said that the best way to always get the right information about these players is to ask (other) players. And when you talk to the opposition batsmen about him (Bumrah), the answer is always 'No, he is a nightmare!' You never know what is going to happen. He said that some ball will swing, some will seam, he will bowl in-swing or out-swing. Nobody knows anything.

Bumrah is going to become a great player: Ponting

Ricky Ponting said that if I look at his performance in the T20 World Cup, the speed is still the same. Nothing has changed in that. The skill is also the same. He is getting better year after year. When you have the skill and consistency that he has, you are going to become a great player. Look at (Glenn) McGrath, look at (James) Anderson, look at these people. His skill has lasted for such a long time which sets him apart from the rest.

Jasprit Bumrah has taken 159 wickets in 36 Test matches, 149 wickets in 89 ODIs and 89 wickets in 70 T20I matches for the Indian team. He is one of the few players for India who plays in all three formats.
