Former Indian cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu praised Jasprit Bumrah for his Player of the encounter effort in the World Cup encounter against Ireland. He compared Bumrah to renowned pacers Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram, believing the trio worried hitters with comparable weapons. Sidhu stated on Star Sports:
“Waqar Younis, Wasim Akram and Jasprit Bumrah don’t need any conditions. They are quick in the air, know how to bowl yorkers and slower ones, and their deliveries swing late. It seems like someone has climbed on you. The deliveries tail in late, so you don’t get the time.”

Navjot Singh Sidhu went on to explain what makes Bumrah stand out among his peers:
“Even when the batter tries to play the hook shot, it hits the sticker. So Jasprit Bumrah is a rare jewel. He has all the skills and is a complete bowler. Bowling yorkers with the new ball is a very big skill and I feel he is the most complete bowler among all bowlers who have come in Indian cricket.”
