One of probably the most feared quick bowlers of his time, Ian Bishop, has referred to as for the conferment of a PhD degree on quick bowling to India’s ace speedster Jasprit Bumrah after witnessing his match-winning spell towards Punjab Kings (PBKS) on the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh on Thursday (April 18).
Bishop took to his X account to heap reward on the spearhead of Mumbai Indians’ tempo bowling assault. “If I could anoint Jasprit Bumrah with a fast bowling PHD, I would. He is a terrific communicator, Knowledgeable & articulate. I’d then have him hold bowling lectures to young for aspiring seam bowlers across the country at all levels. I wouldn’t wait until he retired,” Bishop posted on X.
Bishop’s reward for Bumrah is comprehensible because the ace pacer has proved unhittable within the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League. In a season the place the willow has obtained the higher of the ball like no different IPL version, Bumrah has stood out as a bowler as a result of of his capacity to take wickets at essential junctures.
The 30-year-old is the present holder of the Purple Cap with 13 wickets to his credit score in seven video games. He has conceded runs at a powerful economic system charge of 5.96 so far and averages a jaw-dropping 12.84 with the ball.
Notably, Bumrah is simply the second bowler within the ongoing seventeenth season of the cash-rich league to bag a five-for other than Yash Thakur of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). His Player of the Match (POTM) award towards Punjab Kings was his tenth general within the profitable match as he joined his India teammate Umesh Yadav because the pacer with probably the most POTM awards within the IPL.
Bumrah has performed an instrumental position in serving to Hardik Pandya resurrect Mumbai Indians’ IPL 2024 marketing campaign and is more likely to carry out effectively within the forthcoming contests.
