Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq was mercilessly trolled on Twitter for is remark on Indian fast-bowler Jasprit Bumrah.
The 40-year-old, in an interview with cricketpakistan.com.pk, stated that he had played great bowlers like Glenn Mcgrath and Wasim Akram, so Jasprit Bumrah is a baby bowler for him.
The comment did not go down well among the Indian cricket fans, so without any further ado the fans reminded Razzaq of his batting average in Test and ODIs against former Australian pacer Glenn McGrath. While some also caused him to remember his dismissal to Munaf Patel during the World Cup 2011.

Abdul Razzaq featured in 46 Tests, 265 ODIs and 32 T20Is for Pakistan. He batted at an average of less than 30 across all formats of the game. Razzaq, however was a key player in ODIs for the national side during his playing days and cumulated 5,080 runs.
With that being said, Jasprit Bumrah holds the top spot in ICC’s ODI bowlers ranking. Currently he is recuperating from an injury which he picked up while playing against West Indies.
Bumrah was outstanding during the West Indies tour as he took is first Test hat-trick in the second Test.
The 25-year-old is expected to make his comeback during the New Zealand Test series slated to commence from February next year.
