"You Take The Pitch Away...": South Africa Great's Massive Compliment For Jasprit Bumrah

With his unconventional action, toe-crushing yorkers and disconcerting pace, India's Jasprit Bumrah has taken the pitch out of equation on his way to acquiring legendary status, says fast-bowling great Dale Steyn. Bumrah bowled India to a magnificent win in the second Test against England in Visakhapatnam, helping the hosts level the five-match rubber at 1-1. Steyn was all praise for the premier pacer for his ability to consistently bowl wicket-taking yorkers even on docile Indian pitches, a skill that he believes only a handful of bowlers possess. "I don't think there's any Test bowlers right now who are able to run in and bowl essentially wicket-taking yorkers."

Ahead Of IPL 2024, MS Dhoni Talks About 'Loyalty' For Captain, 'Players Respect'

MS Dhoni's captaincy and man management skills are part of cricket's urban legend, and the former India skipper on Friday said earning respect and loyalty of players with deeds formed the primary layer of leadership.

Mohammed Shami, despite missing out on the first four matches of the tournament, he emerged as the highest wicket-taker with 24 scalps.
