Sachin Tendulkar has strongly backed Jasprit Bumrah, dismissing criticism that India loses when the star pacer plays. Speaking on Reddit, Tendulkar called the claim “just a coincidence,” pointing to Bumrah’s two five-wicket hauls in the England Test series. Bumrah played 3 of 5 matches in the 2-2 series draw, claiming 14 wickets. India won the two matches he was rested for, triggering debate about his impact. Tendulkar praised Bumrah’s consistency across formats, saying, “The quality of Bumrah is exceptional… I would put him right at the top.” Bumrah is currently the ICC’s top-ranked Test bowler.
