"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."
