India bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who tops the ICC ODI bowler rankings, has pleased all with his pace and toe-crushing yorkers.
Where Bumrah’s sensational bowling is becoming better with each passing day, even the best batsmen of the world are finding it hard to play against the speedster. Such is the beauty of his bowling, even the opponent batsmen don’t feel shy of lauding him.
Admitting the brilliance of Jasprit Bumrah with the ball, New Zealand batter Ross Taylor said that Bumrah has been a class bowler for a long time.

“He has been a class bowler for a long time and one of the best death bowlers going around. He has a potent slow ball, and that extra pace, so you have to adapt to both the slower and quicker ball,” said Taylor as quoted by PTI.
“He showed us what to expect and we need to learn quickly and play their bowlers slightly better,” he added.
India on Friday defeated New Zealand by 6 wickets in the first T20I of the five-match series at Eden Park in Auckland.
Invited to bat first, the hosts posted 203 for 5 in 20 overs before India chased down the target in 19 overs. Bumrah was the most economical bowler of the match and returned figures of 1 for 31 in 4 overs.
