Jasprit Bumrah is dazzling former cricketers with his inventive displays as he maintains an impressive performance in the IPL 2024.

What lies ahead for the brilliance of Jasprit Bumrah? It seems a Ph.D. in fast bowling, according to the esteemed fast bowling icon Ian Bishop. The iconic former West Indies pacer is so impressed by Bumrah's remarkable consistency that he proposes granting the Indian pacer a degree in the art. Leading the tally of wicket-takers in IPL 2024 with 13 scalps from 7 matches, Bumrah is leading the purple cap race. With two three-wicket hauls and a five-wicket haul, Bumrah appears invincible, prompting experts to devise innovative ways to praise the Indian speedster.

Bishop's exceptional commendation grabbed headlines following Bumrah's dismantling of Punjab Kings' pursuit of 193, culminating with figures of 3/21 from 4 overs. Gerald Coetzee also shone brightly, claiming 3/32, yet Bumrah, true to form, stood out on his own. In all fairness, when considering any bowler of the contemporary era worthy of such recognition, it's challenging to look past Bumrah.

Bishop said, "If I could anoint Jasprit Bumrah with a fast bowling PHD, I would. He is a terrific communicator, knowledgeable and articulate. I’d then have him hold bowling lectures to young for aspiring seam bowlers across the country at all levels. I wouldn't wait until he retired," Bishop posted on X, before posting another message that said: "I am signing up for classes."
