Waqar Younis Says Jasprit Bumrah Excels in White-Ball Cricket but Must Prove in Tests
Former Pakistan captain Waqar Younis praised Jasprit Bumrah's exceptional white-ball cricket skills but stated the Indian pacer still has much to prove in Test cricket due to fewer matches played and injury-related workload management. Bumrah has taken 234 wickets in 52 Tests with notable achievements, including being named ICC Test Cricketer of the Year 2024 and a strong performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Waqar compared him to other leading Test bowlers like Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, highlighting Bumrah's impact in limited-overs formats.
