Shaheen Afridi and Jasprit Bumrah are among the many most deadly pacers within the subcontinent presently. Bumrah is presently sidelined with harm. However, his previous exploits have made him the spearhead of the Indian bowling assault. In 30 Tests, the 29-year-old Bumrah has taken 128 wickets whereas in 72 ODIs he has scalped 121 wickets. In 60 T20Is he has scalped 70 wickets. Left-arm pacer Shaheen, then again, has taken 99 wickets in 25 Tests. The 22-year-old has 62 wickets in 32 ODIs and 58 wickets in 47 T20Is.

“Shaheen bahut accha hai, Bumrah toh uske paas bhi nahi aata (Shaheen is very good. Bumrah doesn’t come near him),” Abdul Razzaq informed Paktv.television just lately.
When requested, who was higher amongst Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf and Shaheen, Razzaq replied: “All three are good.”
Meanwhile, India skipper Rohit Sharma is hoping that tempo ace Jasprit Bumrah would return to guide the assault within the final two Tests of the upcoming four-match collection in opposition to world primary Australia. The 29-year-old Burmah, who hasn’t performed worldwide cricket since September final yr as a result of a again harm, isn’t within the India squad for the primary two Tests however returned to bowl just lately on the National Cricket Academy nets, elevating hopes of a comeback within the close to future.
“About Bumrah, I am not too sure at the moment. The first two Test matches, of course, he is not going to be available. I am expecting…I am hoping, not expecting, that he plays the next (last) two Test matches (against Australia). We don’t want to take any risks with him as back injuries are always critical. We have a lot of cricket coming back after that as well,” Rohit stated just lately.
“We are in constant touch with physios and doctors in NCA. We will monitor. The medical team will give him as much time as he wants,” he added.
