Former Indian goalkeeper Dinesh Karthik described Jasprit Bumrah as “as valuable as Kohinoor Diamond” after the stunning five goals of the star Pacedník in the opening test against England in headingley. Karthik emphasized Bumhrah’s wrestling-winning abilities and exceptional consistency across formats and noted that a fast pitch has the best diameter among all test crickets with more than 200 goals.
“He Is As Valaable as the Kohinoor Diamond. I Hope People Realise How Important He Is To the Team Across Formats. He Will Make IT Work Regardless of Formats, Bowling Phase and Any Kind of Ball. But More Importantly Wired Very Nicely.
Bumrah requested data of 5 for 82 As India released England to 465 just before the third day tea, ensuring a slim six -wheel first lead. It was his 14. Five goal in the test cricket and display that re -confirmed its position with the most reliable forces of India with a red ball.
Efforts were even more commendable due to lack of support from other sailors and efforts for a partial system. On the 2nd day, Bumrah let three catches fall from his bowling, yet he remained persistent. The next morning he returned to take two more goals, and ensured that England could not cross forward.
On the other hand, the remaining three Indian Pacers – Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna – joined only for three goals, admitted 288 runs. Bumrahov’s magic excelled in both its impact and efficiency, especially on the surface that offered a small margin for mistakes.

He added 73 with a debutant Jamie Smith (40) for the sixth goal and another 49 with Chris Woakes (38) before one short century fallen into Prasidh Krishna. Despite these partnerships, Bumhrah’s intervention proved to be crucial.
