Bumrah - First Indian fast bowler to be ranked no 1 in tests

[New guy]

Previous record was Kapil who had become no 2 (and no India fast bowler ever came close Zaheer was ranked no 3).

 

Bumrah is also the ONLY bowler to ever be ranked no 1 in all 3 formats (no other bowler from any country has achieved this).

Awesome, this is great achievement.

Can we find the ICC all time historical test rankings which ranks the player based on the highest rankings?

Like Kohli, he is an all format great player.

 

Cummins and Rabada are great in Tests but in LOIs, they are just good bowlers. Additionally, Cummins is a great captain too.

We are witnessing someone special.

 

Very very special.

He is someone we Indian fans wished and prayed for, for decades.

God has answered our prayers.

world number in tests. he has achieved that with india though. 2017 to 2020 india were number 1 in tests. he should win a wtc surely. 

not sure if wc in t20 is possible but we can wait and see. 

odi is too far away now.

Unless batting steps up when needed he ain't winning anything. We have a freakishly long tail to go with.

it starts even earlier. barring jaiswal and kohli (to an extent), no one inspires confidence

His white ball chokes are understandable, but what happened to him in 2021 WTC final? Can never forget his innocuous pies in that game, hope he gets redemption for that.

he is a true choker. doesn't discriminate between formats... that said, he's still the best we got

Rankings and stats but no World Test Championships... 

 

Sports is about winning.

in india's case, it is about choking

[Sandz]

People are forgetting that cricket is a team sport, individually he is the best we have ever had and there is no disputing that no matter how much that pains some you biased eggheads.

yes, he is india's best ever pacer. and he is also a choker. it is possible to be both at the same time. let me reiterate the first part again: he is our best ever pacer, and we should be grateful to have him

[dilliboy]

The most special talent India has ever produced... it'll be a pity if this guy ends up with zero ICC trophies

[Sandz]

If he is a a choker then India has no hope, Shami also choked in the final I guess? Along with Rohit, Gill, Shreyas, KL, Sky, Jadeja, Kuldeep, Siraj. Should sack the lot and play the ones on the bench, the bench always looks stronger until....
