Apart from his bowling heroics, Jasprit Bumrah has a unique record with the willow. Former England pacer Stuart Broad, famously known for getting smashed for 6 sixes by India's Yuvraj Singh was forced to register another unwanted record to his name. In a Test match between India and England in Birmingham, Jasprit Bumrah accumulated 35 runs off Broad's single over. With this, the Indian pacer holds the record for scoring the most runs in a single over in the history of Test cricket.

Recently, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) appointed former South African cricketer Morne Morkel as the bowling coach of the senior men's team. Morne's brother and former Proteas' all-rounder Albie Morkel, when asked in an interview about his take on the Indian specialist, Albie said, "I don’t know what his exact thoughts would be, but Jasprit is the best all-format bowler in the world. He is very special and I’m sure Morne would love to work with him."

Australian legend Ricky Ponting too hailed Bumrah by saying, "he’s probably been the best multi-format bowler there’s been in world cricket for the last five or six years. He’s a nightmare!"

The bowler with the calibre of Dale Steyn, pace like Brett Lee, yorkers of Shoaib Akhtar and swing like Wasim Akram, Jasprit Bumrah deserves all the praises.

So far, Jasprit Bumrah has represented India in 36 Tests in which he claimed 159 wickets. In the One-Day Internationals, he featured in 89 matches and has 149 wickets. Bumrah has played 70 matches in the shortest format of the game in which he has 89 wickets.
