Delhi: Former Australian cricketer and coach Darren Lehmann has given a big statement and described India’s Jasprit Bumrah as a better bowler than Wasim Akram and Glenn McGrath. Bumrah is considered to be the best all-format bowler of the current era. He is performing brilliantly in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy by taking 30 wickets.
Bumrah will become captain after Rohit
Lehmann says that Bumrah is the best bowler ever and predicted that he can become the captain of the Indian team after Rohit Sharma. Lehmann told PTI, “I think Bumrah will become the captain after Rohit. He did a good job while captaining in Perth. He is the best bowler I have seen live.”
Akram- better bowler than McGrath
Lehman, a member of the team that won the 1999 and 2003 ODI World Cups, said, “I have seen Wasim Akram and Glenn McGrath, but I have not seen any other bowler have the same impact as Jasprit Bumrah in a series. The last time I saw such a performance was from Mitchell Johnson in the 2013-14 Ashes. Bumrah has taken 30 wickets so far and he is amazing to watch. I am sure that when he gets a chance to captain the Indian team, he will do well.”
