Cricket legend Wasim Akram put an end to comparisons with India’s Jasprit Bumrah, likening the debate to “begano ki shaadi mein Abdullah deewana”—a way of saying the comparisons are inevitable, but pointless. Speaking on GEO TV’s Haarna Mana Hai, Akram praised Bumrah’s unique action, pace, and the management by the Indian board, calling him a “modern-day great” and noting that cross-era comparisons—Bumrah bats right-handed, while Akram bowled left-arm—don’t hold much meaning . Former Indian pacer Varun Aaron echoed this praise, saying Bumrah has already surpassed Akram in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia) wicket tallies—an endorsement of his extraordinary talent.
