India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has been the best multi-format bowler for the last five or six years, reckons former Australia captain Ricky Ponting.
Ponting said that there might have been a few concerns over Bumrah’s longevity but he has only returned stronger from injuries.
“I’ve said it for a long time, he’s probably been the best multi-format bowler there’s been in world cricket for the last five or six years,” Ponting said on the ICC review.
