Jasprit Bumrah’s Stellar Performances Garner Unparalleled Praise From Cricket Legends

Jasprit Bumrah’s extraordinary bowling skills continue to earn accolades worldwide, with former Australian batting great Adam Gilchrist making a stunning statement about Bumrah’s prowess. Gilchrist remarked that even the legendary Don Bradman would have struggled to maintain his iconic batting average of 99.94 against Bumrah.

Speaking on the Club Prairie Fire podcast, which also featured former England captain Michael Vaughan, Gilchrist shared:
“I am not rating him, no number befitting what he is in world sport. He would have ripped on Bradman’s peak in the matter of balls. It would have been much further south of 99 [Bradman’s batting average] that he sits at (if he faced Bumrah). I would give Donald 35 out of Bumrah (in terms of batting average). You cannot have a reward that is high enough for him.”

Vaughan echoed this sentiment, giving Bumrah’s performances a perfect 10/10.

Record-Breaking Feats in 2024

Bumrah demonstrated his brilliance in the 2024 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, claiming 32 wickets in five matches at an average of 13.06, including three five-wicket hauls and best figures of 6/76. His efforts made him the highest wicket-taker of the series and helped him surpass Bishan Singh Bedi’s record for the most wickets by an Indian in an away series.

The year 2024 further showcased Bumrah’s unmatched talent:

  • T20 World Cup: Player of the Tournament with 15 wickets at an average of 8.26, leading India to a historic victory.
  • England Series: Claimed 19 wickets in 4 matches on flat pitches at an average of 16.89.
  • IPL 2024: Despite Mumbai Indians’ disappointing campaign, Bumrah topped the charts with 20 wickets in 13 matches at an average of 16.80.

A Nation’s Cricketing Hero

Bumrah’s consistency and ability to deliver in critical moments have made him a national icon. Mohammed Siraj summed it up after the T20 World Cup final, saying: “I only believe in Jassi bhai; game changer player he is.”

Bumrah was the leading wicket-taker in international cricket in 2024, with 86 wickets in 21 matches at an average of 13.76, including four four-wicket hauls and five five-wicket hauls. His rise from a unique bowling action to becoming one of the greatest pacers of his generation is an inspiration to millions.


Bumrah’s exploits have solidified his position as one of the finest cricketers in the world, earning him recognition and respect from fans and legends alike.
