England's cricket stars have hailed Jasprit Bumrah as the most impactful bowler of the current era. In the first Test at Leeds, his exceptional display 3/48 on Day 2 and a five‑wicket haul (5/83) on Day 3 dominated despite challenging conditions. Former players, including Sanjay Manjrekar (comparing him to Richard Hadlee), Stuart Broad (“best bowler in the world”), Michael Vaughan, David Gower, and Ravi Shastri, praised his lethal consistency and match‑winning influence. Bumrah also achieved a new milestone: first Asian pacer to reach 150 SENA‑country Test wickets. He impressed not only with wicket-taking but also with his mental toughness, even after dropped catches and fitness concerns, proving indispensable in India’s overseas success. (PC: Al Jazeera)
