Team India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been on the top gear ever since he broke into the international arena. Not considered as a prospect in his younger days, Bumrah shattered all the myths to dominate the game at the highest level. Currently, he is also the leading bowler for Virat Kohli & Co across the formats.
Bumrah grabbed eyeballs with his stint in the Indian Premier League for Mumbai Indians.

Legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar, who works with Mumbai in the IPL was one of the firsts to predict that Jasprit Bumrah will dominate international cricket.

 “Everyone is a fan of Sachin paaji. So, I will pick him,” Jasprit Bumrah said after much insistence.
Furthermore, the ace Indian fast bowler believes both M.S. Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh are at par when it comes to finishing a cricket game and that’s why picking the better middle-order batsman between the two is like choosing who is better between a mother and a father.
“I cannot pick one, choosing between Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni is like choosing between mum and dad,” Bumrah said while responding to Yuvraj during an Instagram Live. ” I have seen you both winning so many games for India. So, it’s really a difficult question,” Bumrah concluded.Â
