The Indian Premier League (IPL) is all set to enter in its new decade on Saturday as the defending champions Mumbai Indians will start their campaign to defend the title. They have picked a decent squad in the mega-auction earlier this year and had also retained the core of their squad. Jasprit Bumrah was one of them who has owned the international cricket ever since he has made his debut. However, their bowling coach Shane Bond has tipped Bumrah to be the world’s best bowler currently in the limited overs format of the game.

Bumrah has taken the international cricket by storm and the credit for that goes to his steady rise in the IPL after he first played for Mumbai Indians itself. His uncanny action makes the batsmen difficult to pick him and he even has the ability to fire in the toe-crushing yorkers. The youngster was also blessed to interact with Lasith Malinga who has mastered the act and guided him in the right way.

There is no better bowler than him

Shane Bond has showered praises on Jasprit Bumrah ahead of the tournament and claimed that he is the best bowler in the world currently. “Jasprit is No 1 bowler in the short form of the game. If you talk to anybody in world cricket about the short form game, they will talk about this bloke (Jasprit) at the top of the tree. Every team is looking for someone who can do a job at the end of the innings in particular and there is no better bowler than Jasprit,” he was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.

Bond has been coaching the bowlers of the franchise from last three years and is one of the very few people who has monitored the progress of Bumrah. “His start in the Test cricket has been fantastic as well. Over the period of three years, everyone has seen him develop into a fine all-round bowler across all formats,” Bond added.
