Darren Lehmann reserved the highest praise for Jasprit Bumrah, equating him with all-time greats like Akram and McGrath and calling him the next India captain.
Bumrah has been India's lone warrior as far as bowling is concerned during the ongoing series against Australia, sitting at the top of wicket-taking charts with 21 scalps in three matches at an average of 10.90 and a strike rate of 25.14, with two five-wicket hauls to his name. His best figures are 6/76. While Siraj has been an able partner to Bumrah with 13 wickets at an average of 23.92 and best figures of 4/98, it is Bumrah's consistency, unplayable deliveries and reliability that have earned him the tag of Indian bowling's 'One Man Army'.
Wasim Akram hailed Jasprit Bumrah as the ‘world’s best bowler' after he bowled a spell for the ages to bring India back in the Perth Test against Australia.
