Virat Kohli of Bowling: Harbhajan Singh’s UNIQUE Take on Jasprit Bumrah of Return
Trinidad: India’s premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah is set to make a comeback to international cricket soon when India take on Ireland in a T20I series. While there is a lot of anticipation to see if Bumrah is match fit or not, former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh made an unique comment on his YouTube channel. Harbhajan wished Bumrah the very best and hoped he does not pick up an injury again. He also felt Bumrah is the Virat Kohli of bowling.
“Jasprit Bumrah has made a comeback. He was injured for a long time and his return was awaited. He has come back and has been made the captain straightaway. Congratulations to Jassi for becoming the captain and foremost for getting fit. I hope and keep my fingers crossed that Jassi doesn’t get injured again,” Harbhajan said on his YouTube channel.
“He has been missed a lot, whether you see the WTC final or the cricket that was played before that. I used to say earlier and am saying it today as well that if we talk about batting, we talk about Virat Kohli, and if there is a Virat Kohli of bowling, it is Jasprit Bumrah. There is no bigger name than him,” he added.
Meanwhile, India beat West Indies in the third ODI to clinch the series.
