Jasprit Bumrah - The 'Kohinoor' of Indian Cricket, Dinesh Karthik Hails Him a 'Freak of Nature'

Indian fast bowler is just on fire and entertaining the cricketing world by putting on a show of such brilliance with his game. Former India cricketer and 2007 T20 World Cup winner Dinesh Karthik showered immense praise recently when he described him as a "freak of nature" and a "Kohinoor" diamond of Indian cricket, to be treated with utmost care and protection.

In the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Bumrah has continued to strengthen his position as one of the world's best fast bowlers. The 31-year-old has made history at every turn, and performances have been nothing short of extraordinary. He has broken former India captain Kapil Dev's record to become the leading wicket-taker among Indians in Australia, which is testament to his incredible consistency and skill.

Dinesh Karthik, who closely follows Bumrah's career, could not help but admire him. Speaking on Cricbuzz, Karthik said that Bumrah is a "freak of nature," meaning the bowler is one of a kind in every possible way. He described Bumrah as the "Kohinoor" of Indian cricket, a diamond that requires careful attention and preservation. According to Karthik, no other bowler in the world today can do what Bumrah does across different formats, which only speaks of his unmatched versatility and precision.

Bumrah's skills surpass his bowling. Karthik also appreciated his batting skills, which the fast bowler always works on to help the team in every manner possible. Karthik said that Bumrah's determination and will power are visible in his batting as well. His work for improvement in batting shows him committed to his team. But according to Karthik, there is something that stands apart about Bumrah his character. He is always composed and unruffled by temperament, which is why he appears so self-reliant and simple at the same time. There is nothing about the quiet humility in him away from the field so that he brings out a lot when he gets onto the one.

Statistics really are a silent witness to the greatness of Bumrah. Bumrah was in top gear with the ball during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series currently underway. He stands at the top of the wicket chart with 21 wickets so far from just three Test matches, at an impressive average of 10.90. It is crucial for India to have the ability of unsettling Australian batters at such periods of their match-winning spells. Arguably, he has been the most consistent in fast bowling the game while delivering under pressure situations.

Bumrah's success at the hands of Australia has been spectacular. Having taken 53 wickets in 10 Tests at an average of 17.15, he has surpassed Kapil Dev's record of taking 51 wickets from 11 matches and emerged to become India's most successful bowler on home grounds. That places him at the high point in history among the fastest bowlers in Indian cricket.

Bumrah is going to be the one who is going to play a key role in the Boxing Day Test that is starting on December 26. He has been nothing less than a legend for Indian cricket and continues to make his mark in the annals of the game with each match.

In a nutshell, Jasprit Bumrah's journey in international cricket is testimony to his dedication, skill, and mental strength. Dinesh Karthik said of him as a "freak of nature" and "Kohinoor." It only reflects on Bumrah's effect on the game. Be it his performances with bat and ball or his impeccable character, he is one in a million for India. And as Bumrah goes about breaking records and creating new benchmarks with every match he plays, his legacy gets more solidified as one of the best fast bowlers ever in Indian cricket.
