“The real showstealer is BoomBall”- Ravichandran Ashwin heaps praise on Jasprit Bumrah for ‘Himalayan feat’ against England in ongoing series

Veteran Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin recently lauded star speedster Jasprit Bumrah for his outstanding display in the second Test against England held in Visakhapatnam.

Bumrah’s remarkable performance saw him claim nine wickets in the match, playing a pivotal role in India’s resounding victory by a substantial margin of 106 runs, which helped level the series. Impressed by Bumrah’s exceptional showing, Ashwin coined the term ‘BoomBall’ to describe his stunning performance and extended his congratulations to the pacer for ascending to the coveted position of the No. 1 ranked Test bowler.

Ashwin said “The real showstealer is BoomBall. Jasprit Bumrah has bowled extraordinarily. He is the leading wicket-taker with 14 wickets and also the No.1 ranked Test bowler. I am a huge fan of his and this is a Himalayan feat.”

In addition to this feat, Jasprit Bumrah also etched his name in the annals of cricket history by becoming the sole bowler to have achieved the No. 1 spot in the ICC rankings across formats at least once.
