Like Ashwin, Bumrah also performed aggressively for India in the first match of the series against Bangladesh. This Test match was played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. R Ashwin, who took 6 wickets after scoring a century in the Chennai Test match, said on his Hindi YouTube channel Ash Ki Baat, “Jasprit Bumrah is a fast bowler. He keeps bowling at 145kmph with so much pomp.
He works so hard. He is the crown jewel in Indian cricket at the moment. Jasprit Bumrah is the Kohinoor Diamond of Indian cricket nowadays. Has there been any such fast bowler after Kapil Dev? There is a guy named Jaspreet Bumrah who is making you win matches.”
Ashwin further said, “People say that if he got injured then what is the fittest cricketer…brother there is a difference between a Mercedes and a lorry (truck). If you drive a Mercedes Benz, it is expensive to run, spare parts are expensive. Think about a tipper lorry, it will go from North to South, carrying a full load.
A fast bowler is a lorry, which will definitely break down. He came back after a stress fracture after working so hard. He is scoring 145 runs right now. Give him credit. I always say that he is the Kohinoor diamond of Indian cricket.”
