Bumrah is world’s best fast bowler: Rajkumar Sharma

New Delhi: Delhi’s bowling coach Rajkumar Sharma on Sunday said that India pacer Jasprit Bumrah is ‘world’s best fast bowler’ after he scalped his maiden Test hat-trick against West Indies.
“The way Bumrah is bowling, according to me he is the world’s best fast bowler. His pace and swing are exceptional. The way he has grown from T20I bowler to ODIs and now to Test, he is a great find for India and will serve India for long,” Sharma told ANI.
Bumrah became the third Indian to achieve the feat in the longest format of the game. Previously Harbhajan Singh and Irfan Pathan had taken hat-tricks in Test matches for India.
Harbhajan had achieved the feat against Australia in 2001 whereas Pathan had taken a hat-trick against Pakistan in 2006.
Bumrah dismissed Darren Bravo, Shamarh Brooks and Roston Chase in successive balls in the 9th over of the Windies innings.
Bravo was sent back to the pavilion as Bumrah had him caught at the second slip. Brooks and Chase were caught plum in front and both were adjudged leg-before wicket.
