Waqar Younis: Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra revealed that in the eyes of Pakistan’s legendary fast bowler Waqar Younis, Jaspreet Bumrah is the best bowler in the world right now. In the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Bumrah took 14 wickets in just three matches, due to which Waqar was very impressed.
Waqar Younis called Bumrah the best bowler
Chopra said that during the car journey, he jokingly asked Younis, “The whole world salutes Wasim Akram for his talent and control, because there was no better fast bowler than him in his time. Now when we talk about today’s time, is Jasprit Bumrah like India’s right-handed Wasim Akram?” To this Waqar replied – “No, he is the best of us. No one in our age had such a thinking level, but Bumrah’s art and thinking are both better. He is the best fast bowler the world has ever seen.”
Chopra also said that Bumrah faced a lot of criticism due to workload management, as he played only 3 matches in the series to protect himself from injury. He further said that once there was a debate in India that the team cannot get a better captain than Bumrah. At that time questions arose whether bowlers can become captains, because Bumrah captained the Perth Test in Rohit’s absence and led India to victory.
Chopra said that now times and circumstances have changed. Where it started with a lot of praise, now people criticize him and even troll him. People say that when he plays, the team loses and he does not take any responsibility. Chopra described Bumrah as the best bowler and said, “If according to workload management he has to play only important matches, then it keeps his fitness intact.”
