IND vs ENG: ‘Same impact as Sir Richard Hadlee’- Sanjay Manjrekar lauds Jasprit Bumrah | Cricket News – Times of India

Jasprit Bumrah emerged as India’s standout performer on Day 2 of the Leeds Test, claiming all three England wickets whereas his teammates struggled. As England reached 209/3 at stumps, Bumrah’s figures of 3/48 highlighted his effectiveness on a day when the remaining of India’s bowling assault appeared ineffective at Headingley.Bumrah’s victims included Zak Crawley, who fell early for 4 runs, adopted by Ben Duckett for 62 and Joe Root for 28. The dismissal of Root proved significantly essential within the context of the sport.Former India cricketer and JioHotstar skilled Sanjay Manjrekar praised Bumrah’s efficiency, drawing parallels with New Zealand legend Sir Richard Hadlee.“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,” Manjrekar mentioned on ‘Match Centre Live’ after Day 2’s play.

“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. He played for a New Zealand team with a relatively weaker attack, but every time he came on, you felt a wicket was around the corner,” Manjrekar noticed.Quiz: Who’s that IPL participant?“The common thread between the two is mastery– when I watched Hadlee from close quarters, he felt like a true master of his trade. I get that same impression with Bumrah,” he added.Earlier within the match, England gained the toss and selected to bowl first.
