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).

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”

Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.

KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.

In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.

In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.

Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.

Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.

He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
