Is Bumrah the best cricketer India has ever produced?

[Shri]

yes yes go all in

 

[subshakerz]

yes yes go all in

Thats been my position for a long time my friend.

 

[rtramdas]

Not yet ..... still Sachin , Kapil , Kohli in that order for me...the top 3. Bumrah lacks longevity. Let him play at least 70 tests

 

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

As of now, Bumrah is not even being close to being India’s best cricketer. Twice the sample size and this should be a worthy discussion.

I agree with this order.. for now.

 

[sledger]

Bumrah is never reaching 70 tests.

 

[nightprowler10]

No mention of Sunny? Has he gone from being overrated to underrated on CW?

 

[Pap Finn Keighl]

Sunil Gavaskar
Sachin Tendulkar
Kapil Dev

As of now.

 

[centurymaker]

Tendulkar
Kapil
Kohli
Gavaskar
Bumrah
Ashwin
Dravid

 

[Pap Finn Keighl]

No.

Bumrah hasn't even reached Hadlee, Imran, Akram and Marshall level.

I like the diversion of this thread to AUSIND tests later this year.

What even is going to be the likely Indian XI?

Jaiswal
Rohit
Gill
Kohli
KL
Pant
Jadeja
Kuldeep
Shami
Bumrah
Siraj

Rohit has no patience to last beyond 50 balls at the crease. Kohli is beyond done and I predict a horror tour for him.

Kohli was India’s best bat vs SA last tour on some horrid pitches. And except this T20 WC has been making a comeback in all forms

 

[Fuller Pilch]

To be the best you have to beat the best, so since Douglas Jardine conquered Bradman, surely he is the best cricketer India has ever produced.

 

[ankitj]

No.

Bumrah hasn't even reached Hadlee, Imran, Akram and Marshall level.

"even"? Like they are a low bar?

 

[OverratedSanity]

"even"? Like they are a low bar?

They could all arguably have been the greatest Indian cricketer too lol.

 

[Migara]

Another thread where the answer is Jadeja

 

[Chin Music]

If it is about who India's best ever all format bowler is, a different question. India have of course, always struggled to produce great bowlers. You can quite reasonably say that he is a great of the two limited overs forms of the game. Not sure you can say he's a true test great for India because of his lack of games, although you could perhaps argue that he's already an Indian test bowling great.

Imran and Hadlee would’ve had a pretty objective case

 

[PaulLennon]

Kohli was India’s best bat vs SA last tour on some horrid pitches. And except this T20 WC has been making a comeback in all forms

Even this T20 WC was due to slogging which is not his style. Not like he was getting outfoxed by the bowlers.

"even"? Like they are a low bar?

Yes
Gavaskar > Hadlee > Sachin > Others

 

[ma1978]

Yes
Gavaskar > Hadlee > Sachin > Others

Hahahahaha
