MUMBAI: (Jun 17) Star India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah’s ability to deceive batters and his excellent balance in delivery stride makes him the player to watch out for in the upcoming marquee Test series against England, feels fast bowling great Stuart Broad.
Broad compared Bumrah with the legendary Australia fast bowler Glenn McGrath in having the “most balanced delivery stride” in world cricket.
“He (Bumrah) jogs in, you will be thinking ‘this will be 70 miles an hour’ and it hits you at 90 and you don’t get a real flow. When I faced Shoaib Akhtar, he sprint in at a hundred miles an hour and delivered at a hundred miles an hour,” Broad said in the podcast ‘For the Love of Cricket’ which also featured England batter Jos Buttler.
