Bumrah is the bowling equivalent of the 360 degrees batsman. #AUDvIND #MatchDay

Indian fast bowlers have gotten more from the surfaces than their Australian counterparts. And Bumrah has been the best bowler by a fair margin…. #AusvInd #7cricket @7Cricket

Bumrah’s Test debut in January 2018 now feels like a long time ago, doesn’t it?
Might b debatable but for me the best bowler across all formats and conditions…. Jasprit Bumrah…. You beauty #AUSvIND

WHAT A BOWLER! Incredible from Bumrah. Previous delivery 140kph, wicket ball 111kph. #AUSvIND

Bumrah’s moment of magic brought back references to comments from the host broadcaster on day 1.
Hi Kerry O'Keefe, hope you enjoyed that Hot Spicy Indian Curry being served by our head chef, Bumrah, from our Indian Railways.#AUSvIND #Bumrah #BoxingDayTest

Each of the first 5 balls in Bumrah's over was within 1.5kph of each other. The Indian established a pattern, lulling Marsh into playing the ball before it was bowled, before unleashing that slower ball. Arguably the best over of fast bowling we've seen in this series. #AUSvIND https://t.co/XlTdQfLxZm

The drift and length from Bumrah to Marsh took the MCG pitch out of the equation.
Damn this dead, lifeless pitch. #AUSvIND

Finally the boos at the MCG on day one make sense. #AusvInd pic.twitter.com/IQL23eMiKo

Bumrah is such a unique bowler. He reminds you of… nobody. Has an action you wouldn’t want to teach any kid. Yet, so cerebral and so relentless. So original. Godsend.

A bold prediction by Michael Clarke, but Jasprit Bumrah is more than capable #AUSvIND https://t.co/kGXZsyRfhE pic.twitter.com/jaHKxrDI6L

On our ball-by-ball commentary, meanwhile, readers were comparing Bumrah’s ripper to Shaun Marsh with other memorable deliveries.The scene after Mitchell Starc shattered James Vince’s off stump from around the wicket•Getty ImagesYatin: “After Mitchell Starc to James Vince, this has taken some while coming, but simply brilliant by Bumrah! “Praveen: “Remembering Harmison’s delivery to Clarke in that Ashes !”Here’s this delivery with Mark Nicholas line from the 2005 Ashes.
