'His worth in Indian team is what Wasim & Waqar’s was for Pakistan': Salman Butt on Jasprit Bumrah
Team India has one of the best fast-bowling units across the world. With the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma as the lead bowlers, and Umesh Yadav, Navdeep Saini, and Mohammed Siraj on the bench, there's hardly any team that can come to matching India's talent. While all of the team have proven their mettle time and again, former Pakistan skipper Salman Butt was particularly impressed with one bowler. Ever since his debut in 2018, the pacer has managed to pick up the fastest 50 wickets for his nation, and also registered a hat-trick. He is none other than Bumrah. He has been praised by the players the world over. Recently Curtly Ambrose tipped the Indian to pick up 400 Test wickets if he can keep his body fit.
Sir Richard Hadlee also suggested India the best way to utilize the services of Bumrah. Meanwhile, Butt compared him to the caliber of cars like Ferrari and Lamborghini. “In simple words, he is not a Toyota or a Corolla. Bowlers like him are of the caliber of Ferrari, Lamborghini… the big end cars, the special event cars. With such bowlers, you need to ensure you use them judiciously. With him, you have to select the occasions and conditions properly. And when you do that, you increase your timeline with him. The more he is used in valuable matches, the better output he will give. Bumrah is unique and at the moment, he is one of the best,” Butt said on his YouTube channel.
For the value he brings to Team India, Butt compared him to the likes of Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram.
