Common Thread Between The Two Is 'mastery': Manjrekar Draws Parallel Between Bumrah And NZ Great Richard Hadlee
But Ollie Pope: Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar heaped praise on Jasprit Bumrah for his ability to manufacture a wicket every time he come into the attack and compared the Indian pace ace to New Zealand great Richard Hadlee, the first player to reach 400 Test wickets.
When India bowled out for 471 in 113 overs after Shubman Gill's career-best 147 and Rishabh Pant's astonishing 134 – his seventh ton in the format, England had to deal with a menacing Bumrah, who picked 3-45. But Ollie Pope and Ben Duckett added 122 runs for the second wicket to bring some normalcy into England’s innings as the hosts ended the day 209/3, trailing India by 262 runs.
"We’ve seen four hundreds in the match so far — three from India and one from England — but which bowler has been truly special? For me, it’s just Bumrah. Yet, just the ability to manufacture a wicket every time he came into the attack is what stands out. The one bowler that comes to mind, someone with that kind of impact single-handedly, is Sir Richard Hadlee.
