Former India player Dinesh Karthik heaped huge praise for Jasprit Bumrah after his incredible performance in the first Test at Headingley. This came after Bumrah bagged a five-wicket haul and showed his match-winning skills. Karthik called Bumrah “as valuable as the Kohinoor diamond.”
“He is as valuable as the Kohinoor diamond. I hope people realise how important he is to the team across formats. He will make it work regardless of formats, bowling phase and any kind of ball. But more importantly, he has got the brain that knows what the batter is trying to do and he has got that wired very nicely. In the history of the game, for any bowler who has picked more than 200 wickets, he has the best average and that tells you he is something very special,” Karthik said while speaking to Sky Cricket.
