Dale Steyn praises Jasprit Bumrah as a fantastic bowler
The ex-fast bowler from South Africa, Dale Steyn, didn’t hold back compliments for Jasprit Bumrah after his game-changing play against England. Steyn was pleased by Bumrah’s ability to get results on flat surfaces, as well as his skill of employing yorkers efficiently in Test cricket.
Speaking to the media on the eve of the SA20 final, Styen stated:
“All round he’s a fantastic bowler. And it’s no surprise with his skiddy kind of action that he’s got that. He takes wickets on those docile pitches, so he’s fantastic. I don’t think there’s any Test bowlers right now who are able to run in and bowl essentially wicket-taking yorkers.”

He added:
“To take wickets in Test matches, there are probably a handful of guys who could do that. Trent Boult was one of that, Mitchell Starc maybe. And obviously, Bumrah.”
