What did Chris Woakes say about Jasprit Bumrah?
Speaking to Wisden Cricket Monthly, the English star said,
Jasprit Bumrah is the No. 1 I think, probably across all formats. He's pretty sensational with what he does and he's unique, right? His action is very different to anyone else and he has got a high pace, a gun slower ball, a yorker on tap - everything you need as a white-ball bowler.
