Australian legend Border rates Bumrah as highly as Hadlee and Marshall
The Statesman Siliguri
|December 17, 2024
Jasprit Bumrah's stocks rose exponentially ever since he arrived on Australian shores this summer, with the pace ace leading India to a commanding win in the Border-Gavaskar series opener in Perth, before leaving his mark in Adelaide and Brisbane.
With his dismissal of Mitchell Starc between day three's rain interruptions, Bumrah became the second Indian after Kapil Dev to take 50 Test wickets in Australia.
Since the start of the 20th century, no bowler has a better bowling average Down Under than Bumrah's mark of 17.82 (minimum 20 wickets).
The feat also statistically made Bumrah the best visiting bowler to Australia in more than 100 years, trumping the likes of Richard Hadlee (whose 77 scalps came at a marginally higher rate of 17.83 runs per wicket), Curtly Ambrose (78 wickets at 19.79 in Australia) and Michael Holding (63 at 24.22).
