Yuvraj Singh reveals prediction he made for Jasprit Bumrah in 2013

Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh was all praise for the Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah. Yuvraj hailed Bumrah for his unique bowling style and said that he is once in a generation bowler. Yuvraj revealed that the first time he met Jasprit Bumrah was in 2013 during a Ranji Trophy match between Punjab and Gujarat.

“Bumrah is a class act. He is a once-in-a-generation kind of bowler. I first faced him during a Ranji Trophy game against Gujarat at the PCA Stadium in Mohali in 2013. I played a hostile spell of four overs from him and knew immediately that he was going to be a match-winner for India in Test cricket,” Yuvraj Singh told The Times of India

“Then, a lot of people questioned whether he would be able to excel in Test cricket because of his unique action. But he has kept his critics quiet with some mesmerizing performances in the past three years, that too in all formats. At present, he is definitely a cut above the rest,” Yuvraj Singh added.

Bumrah is currently playing Test cricket for India against West Indies where he took a five-wicket haul in the first match and another five-wicket haul including a hat-trick in the second match. Bumrah became the third Indian bowler to take a hat-trick in Test cricket and 44th in the world.
