Former Indian cricketer and head coach Ravi Shastri has likened Jasprit Bumrah's ball-controlling skills to those of great bowlers like Shane Warne, Wasim Akram, and Waqar Younis.

One of the team's standout players in the June T20 World Cup triumph was Bumrah. Due to his amazing stats, Bumrah was voted the player of the tournament. His 4.17 conceded was the lowest of any bowler in any men's World Cup (minimum 100 deliveries). Bumrah's 15 wickets at an average of 8.26 earned him the award of Player of the Tournament.

“He just showed the world what it takes and you know, it's not often in your career when you have a ball in your hand and you say, do this and the ball does that,” Shastri said on ICC review.

Shastri went on to compare Bumrah's command to that of great bowlers like Shane Warne, Waqar Younis, and Wasim Akram. “Very few have done it, I thought Wasim [Akram] and Waqar [Younis] had it in their prime when they played white-ball cricket. Shane Warne had it where he could literally tell the ball, go there, pitch there, hit leg stump. People who are on top of the game have that ability. I think Bumrah had that in this World Cup,” he added.
