Sanjay Manjrekar told on ‘Match centre Live’ after Day 2’s play “We have seen four hundreds in the match so far–three from India and one from England–but which bowler has been truly special? For me, It’s just Bumrah,”
“Just the ability to manufacture a wicket every time he came into the attack is what stands out. The one bowler that comes to mind, someone with that kind of impact single- handedly, is Sir Richard Hadlee. He played for a New Zealand team with a relatively weaker attack, but every time he came on, You felt a wicket was around the corner,” Sanjay Manjrekar observed.
“The common thread between the two is mastery– when I watched Hadlee from close quarters, he felt like a true master of his trade.I get that same impression with Bumrah,” Manjrekar added.
