Jasprit Bumrah can walk into any cricket team in the world: Sunil Gavaskar

Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has showered praises on the Indian pace bowling department. Gavaskar said that Indian pacer Deepak Chahar is a terrific swing bowler and can swing the ball both ways and trouble the batters.

Gavaskar also added that India are blessed with riches in their bowling department as they also have someone like Bhuvneshwar Kumar who is very good at swinging the ball.

“He is a terrific swing bowler. He has that extra pace as well. He isn’t express but he gets the ball to move at a decent pace which makes it difficult for a batsman. And he has got both the in-swinger and the out-swinger without a noticeable change in action. So when you have someone like him and have Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the bench after two fine performances in the series, India are blessed as far as riches in bowling are concerned,” said Gavaskar in a chat on Star Sports.

“There is Bumrah. Don’t forget him. He will walk into any team in the world not just India team, any team. Then you have Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami…spoilt for choices,” concluded Sunil Gavaskar.

The Indian cricket team will next be seen in action on the field when they take on Sri Lanka in a three-match T20I series which starts on 24th February 2022.
