Former cricketer and commentator Dinesh Karthik has given a befitting reply to the aggressive critics on social media by supporting Indian bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who took 14 wickets in three matches in the recent England vs India Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, which was tied at 2-2.
Let us tell you that Bumrah was being criticized a lot for his participation in the recently concluded five-match Test series against England, however, the series was tied 2-2. If the critics are to be believed, there is a round of discussions that India will be more effective in Bumrah’s absence.
Karthik rejected all the opinions of Bumrah’s critics and said, “Bumrah is so impressive that many times others fade in front of him, he is not a person who backs down from pressure and big matches. He is a world champion. When he leaves cricket, the same things will be said about him as Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne, Dale Steyn”.
