India's talismanic speedster Jasprit Bumrah is one of the fiercest bowlers to have played the game of cricket. He is one of the rare breed of pacers who could win games by himself. Be it the new ball or the old ball, Bumrah always seems to have that special delivery up his sleeve.

He has played 48 Tests, 89 ODIs, and 71 T20Is since making his debut in 2016. He has picked up 219, 149, and 90 wickets across the three formats, respectively. In the Indian Premier League (IPL), the right-arm pacer has picked up 183 wickets at an average of 22.03.

Batters have to bring out special shots to get the better of Bumrah. On this note, let's look at the five best shots hit off the bowling of the senior statesman.

Top 5 best shots faced by Jasprit Bumrah:

5. KL Rahul in IPL 2018

KL Rahul hit a glorious six against Bumrah in match No. 34 of IPL 2018. Playing for Kings XI Punjab (Now Punjab Kings), Rahul hit a lofted cover drive against the ace pacer. The ball sailed over the fence for a maximum. Rahul played with a straight bat and held the pose for the photographers.

This six has managed to stand the test of time. The Karnataka cricketer is one of the most stylish batters in modern-day cricket. A shot like the lofted cover drive looks even more special when he hits it.
