Chris Gayle identifies the toughest Indian bowler he has faced, saying, I can’t seem to get him

Chris Gayle, a former West Indies batsman and IPL superstar, has highlighted the toughest Indian bowler he has ever encountered in his successful career. Gayle was asked to name the toughest Indian bowler he had ever faced during his playing career. Gayle quickly identified Jasprit Bumrah of the Mumbai Indians as the toughest Indian bowler he has faced.

Chris Gayle stated he never comprehended Bumrah’s variations, especially his slower deliveries, during a conversation on JioCinema with former New Zealand cricketer Scott Styris and Indian batsman Robin Uthappa. Gayle continued by saying that when he played against India or in the Indian Premier League, he always found Bumrah to be the toughest bowler to hit (IPL).

“Undoubtedly Bumrah! He seems to escape me. It’s difficult to spot his slower balls, too. His variation is quite different. So I’ll go with Bumrah. The toughest to hit is he, “On the show “All-time Goats” on JioCinema, Chris Gayle said.

It is crazy for a bowler to be able to perform that

 

Bumrah has the three aspects of the game covered, according to Styris, who also praised the Indian speedster. Styris emphasized Bumrah’s ability to bowl a tremendous bumper, a great slower ball, and yorkers, which are the hardest for any bowler to hit. Bumrah’s ability to cause the ball to swing away with his special action was called “madness” by Uthappa.

“I always think he has the three aspects of the game down well. Just the first six overs, he can return in the eleventh to come back and get a wicket. Mumbai frequently utilized him in that capacity, didn’t they? And in the death, he’s able to do so because he has a strong bumper, a wonderful slower ball, and the ability to hit yorkers, which are the hardest to hit under pressure, “said Scott Styris.

And Robin Uthappa agreed, saying, “I think just his skill with that effort to get the ball to swing away, I think that’s crazy to be able to do that as a bowler with that sort of action.”

Bumrah, a right-arm bowler, has been out of cricket competition for a number of months due to a back issue. He was supposed to return during the current white-ball series against New Zealand. However, he was eventually taken out after failing to heal in time. The first two Tests of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy (Test series) against Australia will not include Bumrah. For the next two games of the bilateral match, he is anticipated to return.
