IND vs SA: Michael Vaughan, Dale Steyn reserve ultimate praise for ‘best in the world’ Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah couldn’t have hoped for a better return to the field where he started in the Cricket Test. In 2018, Bumrah was released as a red ball for the first time in the Cape Town opener against South Africa. Four years later, he returned to the same venue to complete his seventh five-wicket wicket, making India a hit in history.

Mighty was impressed by Bumrah’s efforts on Wednesday, with former cricketers Michael Vaughan and Dale Steyn retaining their ultimate praise for the Indian pacer.

“How good is @Jaspritbumrah93!!! I think he’s the best player in the world right now… Bumrah gave India a perfect start to day 2, Aiden Markram in the second match of the day Fired with a great shot.

Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami then relinquished the middle order before Bumrah fought back again to dismiss Marco Jansen, Keegan Petersen and Lungi Ngidi as the pacers picked the seventh five-wicket in Test cricket. The figure of 5/42 recorded by Bumrah is also the best bowling figure for a Cape Indian fast bowler, surpassing the best record of 5/114 set by Sreesanth during the 2010/11 tour.

All seven fifers in Bumrah ran away from home. He is now tied for fourth with Irfan Pathan, an Indian striker who has taken the most five wickets away from home. The legendary Kapil Dev tops the list with 12 named after him, followed by Ishant Sharma (9) and Zaheer Khan (8).

Mumbai overcame Vidarbha by 169 runs in the Wankhede Stadium final on Thursday to end an eight-year drought for a record-tying 42nd Ranji Trophy victory. Vidarbha put up a valiant fight in the second inning to chase a massive 538 runs, but on Day 5, they were eventually bowled out for 368.

Vidarbha put up a valiant battle on Day 5 of the final, with captain Akshay Wadkar and Harsh Dubey leading the team’s struggle against Ajinkya Rahane’s troops. Vidarbha scored 81 runs in the opening session without losing a wicket thanks to the two’s resolute stance at the crease, which frustrated the home team.

Following lunch, Wadkar gave Vidarbha’s innings a boost with a magnificent century, showcasing his batting prowess. But when it was time to step it up, Tanush Kotian got his wicket by lbw-ing Wadkar.

Following the captain’s exit, Vidarbha’s batting lineup came under increasing pressure. Even Dubey, who showed fortitude by hitting a steely 65 off 128 deliveries, gave in to the pressure of the scoreboard.

Mumbai’s bowlers strengthened their hold on the game as the innings went on. Vidarbha’s bottom order offered little resistance as Mumbai quickly completed the innings in just the next 25 deliveries.
