"Don't Rush Him": Ex India Star On 'Indispensable' Ravindra Jadeja's Return For Rajkot Test

'Was Labelled As A White-Ball Cricketer': Ravi Shastri Reveals First Call With Jasprit Bumrah

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri always knew that Jasprit Bumrah was "desperate and hungry" to play Test cricket as the pace sensation didn't ever liked being stereotyped as a "white-ball specialist". Bumrah is the first Indian pacer to be ranked No. 1 in the ICC Test rankings.

In the process, he also became the fastest Indian to 150 Test wickets.

R Ashwin Reacts As Jasprit Bumrah Replaces Him As No. 1 Test Bowler

Indian spin veteran Ravichandran Ashwin hailed speedster Jasprit Bumrah for his performance during the second Test against England, saying that the real "show stealer" in the match was "Boomball". England had taken a 1-0 lead by beating India by 28 runs in the first Test at Hyderabad, but Bumrah's 'Boomball', his pin-point yorkers and his ability to put batters under pressure put England's highly-attacking, positive and result-oriented "Bazball" approach in check during the second Test at Visakhapatnam, which India won by 106 runs. Bumrah was given the 'Player of the Match' award for taking nine wickets, including a six-wicket haul in the first innings. After the match, Bumrah soon toppled Ashwin to become the world's number-one Test bowler.
