Former England captain Michael Vaughan has called India’s top bowler Jasprit Bumrah “the best bowler I’ve ever seen” on the BBC 5 Live Sports podcast. He praised his skill in all forms, including Test, ODI and T20. He also mentioned that Bumrah’s captaincy during India’s 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia was one of the best he has seen.
On the podcast, Vaughan said, “Jasprit Bumrah is the best bowler I’ve ever seen. He’s incredible in all formats. Some of his spells in Australia were amazing, and the way he led India in Perth was just fantastic. He really took charge not just with his bowling but also as a captain.”

While he is a key part of India’s bowling attack, reports suggest he might only play 3 of the Tests. Bumrah is keeping an eye on his fitness, especially with the tough conditions in England. But his record against England is impressive, 60 wickets in 14 Tests, 37 wickets in 9 matches in England.
