"They don't discuss Bumrah." Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were the center of attention. Hussain on the world's finest bowler

Almost by himself, Jasprit Bumrah helped India win the opening Test match against Australia. Hussain said that Rohit and Kohli received more attention than he did.

In the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth, India defeated Australia by 295 runs, and Jasprit Bumrah's outstanding performance solidified his place as the world's top bowler. Nasser Hussain, the former captain of England, expressed his relief at not having to play against Bumrah.

Before the game, Hussain expressed his curiosity about why Bumrah was not receiving as much attention as other build-up elements. The inadequacy of India's batting lineup in the startling series thumping that New Zealand inflicted was the main topic of conversation.

"He has the bouncer, the yorker, and that slower ball... When he was holding the press conference prior to the game, I was thinking that all of the attention was on Kohli, Rohit Sharma's absence, the Indian team's balance, Steve Smith, and if these outstanding players would score runs. They don't really discuss Bumrah, I thought. Perhaps it's because he bowls. "There is a lot more emphasis on batters," Hussain stated on Sky Sports Cricket.

Bumrah, who was leading the visitors in Rohit's absence, drove them back into the game with numbers of 5/30 after India had been dismissed for just 150 batting first. After Australia was dismissed for 104, India set a massive mark of 534 for Australia to chase thanks to centuries from Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal and a 201-run opening partnership between the two players. As Australia was dismissed for 238 runs, Bumrah claimed three wickets.

Out all bowlers who have taken at least 150 Test wickets, Bumrah currently has the second-best lifetime average of 20.06. The only bowler higher than him in documented history is England great Sydney Barnes, who played from 1901 to 1914. In fact, his average is the highest of any bowler in any Test match since the end of World War II.

"The world's best all-format bowler, bar none"
Barnes is known to have taken 189 wickets at an average of 16.43 in his 27 Test matches. Even more astounding is his first-class record, which stands at an almost unbelievable average of 17.09 with 719 wickets in 133 games. In 41 Test matches, Bumrah has claimed 181 wickets at an average of 20.06. However, it is still true that the two players come from very different eras, and there are some great fast bowlers from the post-war era whose average was lower than Bumrah's at the same point in their careers.

According to his statistics, Bumrah is on par with Sydney Barnes, isn't he? It's amazing that he has popped under 20 for such a long time. Hussain declared, "He is without a doubt the world's best all-format bowler."
