Is Jasprit Bumrah the best fast bowler India has ever produced?

[Saket1209]

Jassy is the best all format fast bowler currently. Is he India's best ever or its still time for it. I know by the time he retires he will surely be the best fast bowler ever produced by India.

I’m still going Kapil and the ICC ratings say people Kapil was as better than Bumrah for the period of Bumrah’s career.

That said, Bumrah looks ridiculously good.

I had high hopes for this guy,

Mods should change option 4 to "I don't know."

 

[smash84]

Probably

I’ll wait til he puts together an actual career, if he can.

Can you repeat the question?

 

[Prince EWS]

He's not as good as Broad, and Sreesanth > Broad, so he can't be.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Shami IMO

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I've learnt on CW that Amar Singh > Shane Bond, and since Bond > Bumrah the answer must be no.

 

[Line and Length]

Bumrah is good but I have been an admirer of Kapil Dev and see him as a better bowler.

Sreesanth prime> Burma prime

Sreesanth prime> Burma prime

has Sreesanth ever been subject to civil unrest though

Bumrah very obviously can be. But he has to overtake Kapil. I don't know if with his injuries / missed Test tours, he can get to the point when you can meaningfully compare careers.

His peak performance is clearly there though. There's no one who bowls like him, and he brings an aspect of a genuine ace strike bowling seamer to the Indian attack, which India have very rarely had in history.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being a Shoaib Akhtaresque one.

 

[trundler]

He's already better than Akhtar.

 

[silentstriker]

Probably.

Hard to compare guys like Amar Singh.

probably the fast bowling in the all time side (away) would consist of Kapil/Bumrah/Amar Singh.

He’s better than Kapil on bowling, though not as a player.

 

[Coronis]

Nah. How can you be your country’s best bowler if you’ve only played 4 tests in your country?

 

[capt_Luffy]

At this point; I will just say; HELL YEAH. There's only Kapil Dev as his competition, but I think what he has performed already puts him much ahead of Kapil Dev.
