Dinesh Karthik Applauds Bumrah's Consistency Across Formats
Dinesh Karthik, a former Indian cricketer, complimented Jasprit Bumrah after his five-wicket effort in the first Test against England at Headingley, Leeds. Karthik referred to Bumrah as being "as valuable as the Kohinoor" and appreciated his consistent efforts in all formats of cricket.
Karthik highlighted Bumrah's capability to anticipate what the next move of the batter would be and change his bowling strategy accordingly as an advantage. He also mentioned that Bumrah's Test average is superior to all bowlers who have claimed more than 200 wickets in the format.
