Jasprit Bumrah - Best average in last 100 years (min 150 wkts)

[Adamant]

People who call him choker should stop, he has already turned so many test matches in our favour.

What a ride for someone like me who vaguely remembers Sunny Gavaskar opening the bowling, with the idea of roughing up the cherry for he spinners to come on quickly.

ATG - GOAT material.

 

The world has never seen such a complete pacer like Bummy.

 

Can bowl in tests, odis and t20s.

 

Great at both conventional and reverse swing. More so with reverse swing.

 

Can get the ball to jag around after pitching at every stage of the game.

 

Incredible slower delivery that's lethal in all formats.

 

A mean yorker to boot.

 

Can open the bowling, bowl in the middle overs and then go on to york batsmen at the death.

 

Can turn the game around by delivering a Steyneque knockout spell on a dead or batting friendly track (Oval, Vizag).

 

The only bowler who had it all like him was Wasim Akram.

 

I don't know the cricviz swing and seam stats, but from my memory, Bummy gets more seam while Akram gets more swing.

 

Glenn McGrath was the most scary and clutch bowler I have ever seen in my life...but I am not sure he would have the same aura he had playing ODIs and T20s in the modern era. But he would totally destroy modern test bats for sure with DRS in play.

 

Coming back to Bummy, he has the potential to retire as the greatest all format, all conditions, all situation bowler the world has ever seen. 

His only weakness is being injury prone, that will affect his longevity. But otherwise, he is one of the most complete bowler of all-time.

That's exactly why he's called a choker. The KO performance are very bad for bowler of his calibre
