Delhi: Former Indian team cricketer Yograj Singh praised fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for bowling brilliantly in the first innings of the Handingley Test against England. Due to Bumrah’s strong performance, India took England for 465 runs in the first innings and took a slight lead of 6 runs. In this match, Bumrah once again proved to be ‘One-Man Army’ in bowling for India. However, India lost by 5 wickets in the Leeds Test.
In a conversation with ANI, Yograj Singh said that it is very important to strengthen the bench strength to make the Indian team better. For this, all the players should make it mandatory to play domestic cricket by forming four teams. He said, “When there is improvement in IPL as well as domestic cricket, only then India will become the number-1 team in the world. This team will win and return. Bumrah is a great player.”
With his recent performance, Bumrah has done the feat to take five wickets hall in a Test match for the 12th time on foreign land, with which he equaled the great all -rounder Kapil Dev. But Bumrah achieved this feat in just 34 Tests, while Kapil had to play 66 Tests for it.
Bumrah has taken five wickets in Australia, three each in England and South Africa and five in West Indies twice. In India, he has recorded this achievement only twice. The special thing is that this is his 10th five wicket hall in SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia), and he has become the first Indian bowler to do so.
If they repeat this feat in SENA countries two more times, then Pakistan’s veteran Wasim will overtake Wasim Akram (11 Fiers). So far, Bumrah has taken 210 wickets in only 46 Tests from an average of 19.33 and an economy of 2.77, with his best performance 6 wickets for 27 runs.
