Bumrah, known for his own prowess in fast bowling, openly expresses admiration for Anderson’s exceptional skills on the pitch. This article delves into the camaraderie and respect shared between these cricketing giants, highlighting the essence of sportsmanship in the thrilling IND vs ENG series.
In the aftermath of an outstanding performance in the second Test against England in Vizag, veteran Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah was rightfully named the player of the match. Acknowledged as the team’s chief wicket-taker with nine scalps across two innings, Bumrah’s brilliance extended beyond the numbers.
During the post-match presentation, Bumrah was reminded of his viral yorker that dismissed Ollie Pope in the first innings. When informed that even legendary bowler Waqar Younis was talking about it, Bumrah responded brilliantly.
Notably, when presented with impressive statistics about his performance in India, a humble Bumrah expressed indifference towards numbers. “As I said before, I don’t look at numbers. As a youngster, I did that, and it made me excited. But now it’s an added baggage,” he stated.
